- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 20048636, 3 hours agoNew update is just vibe coded in your face slop. Had to revert back
- Rated 1 out of 5by D33P, 6 hours agoDO NOT GIVE IT NEW PERMISSIONS. The source code is no longer updated on github, which is worrying as it means this new update could have anything in it and we wouldn't know - especially with all the new permissions it requests.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Noah R., 13 hours agoVery good at what it does. HOWEVER, there is no reason for it to request/require read-write permissions on every single website. Let the user add specific site(s) to an allowlist.
- Rated 2 out of 5by lizzieonl1ne, 19 hours agoThis new update really ticked me off when I first installed it. I liked how simple it was before. While the new UI is nice, it definitely has succumbed to feature creep. JUst initially loading the new UI made my poor browser slow to a crawl. AND STOP ASKING ME TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT!!! NO ONE WANTS TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT FOR AN EXTENSION!!
However I do still think it helps A LOT with getting stuff done. It still accomplishes its goal of making the canvas UI much better and easier to use, in fact, I do think the update is more of an endgame version of this, in this aspect it is much better than the previous version.
But my god, slow down with the feature creep, and stop prompting me to sign in for two features I dont care about. I just want to see what I have to do!
Edit: JUst noticed the account feature lets you have like, a planner and lecture notes/recordings and stuff. It would be great if I could opt to not make an account and integrate these features with other standards and services (like caldav, webdav, nextcloud, google, etc)!
Also, the other reviewer has a point. Why does it need that permission? - Rated 2 out of 5by AnyClick, 21 hours agoThe extension itself is great, but with the new update you are required to allow the extension access to ALL browser tabs and your data for ALL websites. Completely unnecessary for an extension that lets you customize Canvas. If you have an old version, just never update it. If not, find a different extension.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Sebydooo, 21 days agoI quite enjoy what this extension does, but i cant ignore how this extension handles its customization. It's quite annoying how limiting the options can be, such as the side bar with its image implementation and the color picker operation not working. Maybe it's because I'm on firefox, I don't know.
I would love it if we had the option to manually change the CSS code through this extension. For example, if there was a third button that opened a textbox, containing the relevant css code in relation to whatever its attached to.
AKA. let me put an image in the sidebar without having a gradient forcefully wash out my image :sob: - Rated 5 out of 5by Alexander, 3 months agoOh my gods I'm sobbing. So much better than the slop Chrome users are stuck with. Old BetterCanvas how I have missed you (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
- Rated 3 out of 5by Username, 4 months agoIts good but, at the time of writing, the Firefox version has been abandoned since August of 2024. Please update the Firefox version!

- Rated 5 out of 5by deanna, 5 months agomy favorite extension ever. Been using it for years now and it's never failed me. So so so many cool themes made by other users and making a theme is easy. Somehow has genuinely made being on canvas and getting work done way easier when the theme is fun or interesting to me. A ton of thanks and good wishes for the person who made this thing! Thank you!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19568111, 6 months agoNo update in two years, devs dont care about firefox
- Rated 5 out of 5by GC., 9 months agoExcellent! Highly recommend for Canvas users, whether just a regular student or TA/LA. One wish I have is that the upcoming assignments To-Do list time range was more customizable, either with a set end date or more time ranges (especially "2 weeks" or "3 weeks" which is what I would love to have). But that's very nit-picky and I use the Firefox version, which could be more limited? But regardless, this extension has made Canvas way easier to use. Thank you for your great work ksucpea!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17449175, a year agoGood but it messes with other site's animations.
You can fix this by now allowing it to run on other sites but it has to be turned on manually in firefox's addon manager tab - Rated 5 out of 5by novadev, a year agoAbsolutely love this extension, especially with how easy it is to view when everything is due, rather than having to navigate every single assignment page of every single unit to figure it out. Absolute godsend as a uni student.

- Rated 5 out of 5by rosewood, 2 years agoi love the extension! it lets me customize the course cards and makes everything so aesthetic.
however, the user generated themes opt-in is slightly broken. when i hit the opt-in button, it only shows one theme option per page instead of the 24 default options per page. overall im super happy with the extension :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Melo, 2 years ago
