Describe the Bug

Changed to a full black #000000 Chrome theme and allthough the extension is at its place, it's not visually distinguishable from the background. It's also most likely that my mini-led monitors local dimming feature would produce a similar problem in other darkish themes.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have new mini-led monitor
  2. Go maximum dark mode
  3. Can't see Icon

Expected Behaviour

Be able to see Icon despite absolute dark mode.

Screenshots or Additional Context

It most likely also affects other browsers. Additionally including the increasing prevalence of OLED and Mini-LED screens: As a suggestions perhaps it would make sense to redesign the transparent parts of the logo to full white. Of course this would lead to other browser theme colors not being able to "customize" the usually transparent part, but at the same time maintain design consistency across all possible themes. Might not solve my "edge case" fully (as full black stays black) but I'd still find the extension much faster.

Thank you and kind regards!
