This, along with every single one of Carlos Jeurissen's extensions, is a veritable necessity for the serious Web surfer, and this one especially is SO helpful for users of Google services. I had rated it 5 stars for years, and it's one of the very first extensions I install when setting up a new browser installation, whether Firefox/Floorp, Chrome, Opera GX or another browser.
Recently, however, the Gmail and Inbox tabs inside the Black Menu popup window fail to load, or else load and are merely black, with no access to my email. I've done some research and found that it's supposedly either going to be fixed or already has, which brings me great hope for the extension, but as of today (2025-02-20) it's not working for me, still. That said, every single other Google service the Menu integrates (at least the ones I've checked) work brilliantly, as usual. I modified my rating to 4 stars, only because it's impossible to rate it 4.999... stars, which is what I feel it deserves. But I plan on changing it back to 5 stars as soon as the issue's fixed.
Other than this, I have NEVER had a single issue with this stable, efficient, outstandingly practical and helpful extension, and I'd like to point out as well that, unlike many extensions, it's kept up-to-date nearly always, something that's not easy to do, I might add. I know this, being a veteran software engineer. Thanks, Carlos! I'll appreciate the fix, and I love your extensions! Rest assured I'm a huge fan and will recommend them to anyone I can! <3
