Optionally list and search all diff; Very fast search; Use small amount of RAM; Do not create temporary files. So it used a very small amount of storage space; Dark or bright theme; Multilingual 15 languages; Open source. If you are not familiar with "open source", it means this software has both stronger security & stronger privacy. Because its code is publicly available for review and contributions on SourceForge; Attractive GNU General Public License version 2. This means the software code of this extension is owned and supported by a friendly not-for-profit community. Instead of a for-profit corporation.
