Santhosh R (ID: 000000fdc7a15d29) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/11/2023 Very well though out extension, easy to open links. Hint for users, when you are typing it also most of the times underlines the link most of the time, so you don't have to look at the links window, but look for underline in page. Also I found using semi-colon with win/super key, very easy to invoke.
