Rob Herbert (ID: 000000034317bc50) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/06/2021 This is an excellent extension but would be perfect with just two changes: 1) Allow users to hide the settings/download links at the top of the page - they're very intrusive. 2) Allow users to keep the favourite icons in the middle of the page. Apart from that, brilliant.
