#2Very nice idea, cannot wait to test it on my Windows laptop with OLED.
One interesting note though, the screenshots are on macOS where OLED is less expected "in the wild".

#3From the name alone I assumed this was going to move the browser UI around to prevent burn-in. Has anyone attempted this yet? Perhaps as a native feature?

Is burn in still a thing?
Early gen OLEDs had abysmal burn in and I had devices with static ui elements like status bars etched into screen in a couple of months.
It feels like history now.

#5TBH I wonder what's going on with the hyper-generic username of "FreelanceProgrammingServices", profile picture, and the HN username of WindowsDev who has made three GitHub submissions of their own work and posted one comment.

Very much so. Getting it on a 360hz monitor currently due to my own neglect

The on-device hardware even does neat little tricks like shift your image around by a pixel or two so you don’t have to think about it. Haven't ever seen burn-in on an OLED, myself.

The pixel shifting that GP mentions is already included in most if not all. I'm dailying an LG C3 42" as a monitor and these 16 months, so far so good.
However, I am on Linux and running a custom "DE" with Sway, my background is pure black and swayidle locks my screen in 3 minutes (to black). Also, anytime I get up, I power it off because even if it's displaying only black, the screensaver kicks in after some time (dumb feature that I cannot disable and would be better served by my solution).

#10No one should load up an extension that has access to all pages and even the Github source is minified garbage.
