Max Kerekesha (ID: 0000002b01f51073) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/20/2016 Хороше розширення! Всім рекомендую! Додає нові та дуже потрібні функції, я користуюся всіма! Проте найбільше мені подобається - закріплення бічного меню та годинник під ним, що дає змогу корегувати свій час перебування на сайті! Чекаю на подальші оновлення!
