Moustafa Amin (ID: 0000008484c669b1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/08/2023 Thanks for he amazing extension. I'm struggling a bit. As I only open there one page (ticktick todo app) I want the side bar to presist the loaded page when I switch it on and off again. or at lease whenever I switch it off then on, the page to be loaded right away (no need to type the url and press enter. can I do so?

Oleh Koropenko (ID: 0000000765b3e6b9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 Great extension! I use it to work with chatGPT. It would be great to add bookmarks at "main page" for some websites - so instead of copying link every time users would be able to just click to bookmark.
