Reviews for Adaptive Tab Bar Color
Adaptive Tab Bar Color by Eason & Yue

Rated 5 out of 5
by mountain.spider, a year agoI love this. The only thing I would wish is that that would highlight a little bit more obvious which tab you on when it changes to a darker color like on my Mac M1, and on windows, the black/dark purple and certain colors like really bright, yellow/white, etc.
It's harder to tell which tab it's on making it easier to close because all the tabs blend into the same color. Sometimes with certain color super dark or in general, the color black/purple. (color used in the Firefox review section or solid black) all the tabs blended into one you normally have to scroll up until it changes colors to make it more obvious to close.
On some website, it has two colors so it won't change colors making all your tabs in one color if you have multiple. Example:
you're reading multiple articles, have multiple tabs open on same website to read, than close. have multiple tabs open. At a glance, you can't tell which one to close because the icon is the same, and the colors is completely solid and all the tabs become completely solid. Sometimes making you close the in-correct tab, then have to reopen it using a shortcut and find the one you want to close because it's not obvious
This only happens if there's multiple tabs obviously and then you can't use the icon as guidance because they're all the same color. The only way you can easily tell if media is playing because it highlight with media files playing.
It would be easier if they made something surrounding it to make it obvious which tab is the one you're seeing, to make it easy to close at a glance, without using hover or moving the page around to force it to change to a color.

posted a year agoHi mountain.spider, thanks for the great feedback! You can actually change the active tab colour to make it more noticeable—just open the add-on popup or go to the options page → Theme Builder → Selected Tab. Hope that helps! 😊

- Rated 5 out of 5by ebayybe, a month agoI’ve been looking for a way to make the Firefox UI more native and adaptive, similar to macOS Safari. This extension nailed it. The colors are picked accurately and softly, and the transitions are smooth. The tabs no longer stand out as a gray block but blend into the website seamlessly. Amazing job.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Namaga Fukeko, a month agoworks well but it doesnt work if i have walpaper in my homepage
- Rated 3 out of 5by Raygen, a month agoIt's good, but it's a bit laggy. Just like Dark reader: It has an impact on browser's performance.

- Rated 5 out of 5by scumhero, a month agoI checked all the scripts in the .xpi file locally on my device and confirmed for myself that the extension only reads local CSS and does not contain any outgoing tracking or telemetry code.
But since I’m already creeped out, I’ll turn off auto-updates and recommend others do the same :) I hope permission can be bypassed in the future.
Edit: Indeed, that'll definitely save some time XDDeveloper response
posted a month agoHi, scumhero. Respect to you for checking the code! Alternatively, you can also build the add-on from the source code on GitHub and compare it with the .xpi file :) - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 5639510, 2 months agoStarting with version 4, the tab bar and URL bar on the Quick Dial-startpage no longer change color. That's why I'm back to using version 3.3.2.
