No, this plugin doesn't "process" whitespace. It enables the CodeMirror extensions that decorate whitespace so that it can be styled.
If you want something that finds and cleans up extra whitespace, I would suggest a linter.

𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘺 — Today at 5:57 PM i tried it, but it doesnt seem to actually do any processing to highlight whitespace, its just the same as what you can do with normal css

✔️ Solution
Optionally add a mode where plugin needs to be enabled, to process whitespace highlighting.
I know the goal is to make this plugin be disabled if needed, but there is also a missing gap right now for highlighting only whitespace and not other syntax highlighting.
