Александр Титаренко (ID: 000000233d5e846b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/09/2016 Отличное расширение. Жалко нельзя заблокировать иконки, иногда вместо нажатия, срабатывает перетаскивание.

Q Zsolt (ID: 0000007647652d97) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/13/2014 It's really easy and simple. Very fast also. But coloring doesn't work, so in the end u get a bunch of tiles with 2 letters, some are the same, which leadt to searching for text. That's why uninstalled. 1* only. Also no cloud support.
