Shelley List (ID: 00000019230fa83c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/12/2023 5 stars for what it does. And a request for it to do one more thing: let me specify position as well as size. However, even without that it works much better than the others I tried.

Michael Singer (ID: 00000082d8bc4ed8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/05/2021 Doesn't work on macOS 12.0.1. Spinner turns forever and nothing happens. Why does this extension actually need to read the browser history? Uninstalled.
