Bogdan Constantinescu (ID: 0000008079fbf3bd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/20/2019 Nic extension but I already found something that I would want to be configurable. (I open a lot of Quora tabs and Quora after processing the story id redirects back to quora.com and if I open all my digest in new tabs I end up having only the last one - since they all have just "quora.com" as a url after said redirect). I tried finding the extension on github but apparently it's not there. Could you make a public repository that we can add contributions to (or just add issues)? Thanks.
