 Yes, I get that.
 I already change multiple settings with PrefBar, but I need to toggle each
 checkbox or button instead of "sliding". And sometimes I need to add or
 modify buttons. (Changes made with PrefBar also takes effect before any
 pages are loaded.)

 There is a different user experience between a slider and the row of
 checkboxes that PrefBar offers. In time, the users will decide which is
 better.

 But I find PrefBar useful, and have not found anything suspicious about
 it.
 I would welcome your, brade or Mikes opinion on this addon, after it has
 been examined. It may not replace the slider, but it could be added to the
 recommended list.
