Richard Gutter (ID: 0000002838ff3c33) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/24/2017 Great extension, but it (understandably) often produces long lists of history records that aren't really relevant to me, and that pushes down (and off-screen) other right-hand info that is! Could a show/hide toggle be added to the top of the list?

ВАСЯ пупкин (ID: 000000979a709ec9) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/03/2016 Очень мало ссылок в выпадающем окошке. В истории с сайта страниц 50, а показывается только 8 и не понятно по какому критерию.
