Hi,

Thanks a lot for checking this product and sharing your thoughts.

1. Extension because I want people to get exposed to these words and genders involuntarily. If it is a web-page, the user has to voluntarily go to that webpage to consume this.

2. Even in India, where I am from, pink is generally considered feminine. However I feel that this stereotype is non-inclusive so I didn't want to conform to that. Hence the choice of green color for the feminine gender.

3. I agree there is no neuter symbol. Having three symbols was a bit cluttered so I decided to skip it. I was hoping that the masculine and feminine nouns would be sufficient to convey the message.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again for your inputs.

1. I still don't understand the involuntary part. Does it appear in each page transition? When Chrome starts?

2. I'd make it configurable.

1. Yes, it appears every time a new tab is opened in Chrome.

2. Makes sense. I just wanted the first version to be light. Thanks for your inputs.
