What’s new in version 0.4.6?

                Canvas+ is a free Chrome Browser extension that improves the experience of students using Canvas. Everything you could need, from color themes, to navigation shortcuts, to improved performance.

The extension has an easy-to-use settings menu, and all of our features are toggle-able. 

You have a full suite of appearance settings, including dark and dim mode, custom link colors, and custom sidebar colors and layouts.

Quick Inbox opens a popup on the left side of the page, allowing you to check previews of your emails without reloading the page and possibly losing what you were working on.

If enabled, the Speed Boost feature will preload links while you're idling, resulting in much faster loading speeds of 2x or 4x on struggling connections.

A feature to improve navigation is the search box. The search box can be enabled with Control+K (Command+K on Mac) or with a sidebar button and allows you to search all of your courses for pages and module items.

Rounder Modules does just as the name says, it makes canvas modules rounder.

If the "Smart Scrolling" setting is enabled, you'll see "Scroll to Bottom" and "Back to Top" buttons on pages, discussions, and modules/assignment lists.
This can greatly speed up navigating a course with hundreds of modules.

Only Extension that fully turned all the buttons black. Very cool look. Highly recommend.

Does what it promises to do. For a few months it would make my desktop computer's fans spin up for seemingly no reason but that's been resolved now.

Completely killed my battery life. I have the brand new Macbook Air M2 chip and It ran just fine until I downloaded this extension. My battery life went from about 11-12 hours to not even 3 hours where all I am doing is typing in a google doc. I know its this extension because I told my computer to kill the Crome tab that had the most energy impact, and every time it was Canvis. This was not an issue for anyone else in my class. For reference a normal tab's energy impact is between 0- 12 and the canvas tab with this extension is 400. I tried removing the tab and it was still drawing this amount of power. I have tried everything it has messed up my google account.
