H A N S (ID: 000000cf042d4b30) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2023 Perfect… absolutely perfect. now you can maximize the massive empty space by hanging an in-sync 200% website. Now, I need a way to add more splits, can I still have way more space than just 200% length.

Sergio Henrique da Silva Pereira (ID: 000000c1a74f2035) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/23/2021 Divide, como prometido. Todavia, não permite que uma das divisões tenha independência na barra de rolagem, ou seja, uma vez dividida, ambas as barras funcionam conjuntamente. Seria interessante que as barras de rolagem fossem independentes.

Andreas Langenhagen (ID: 000000e546989914) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/19/2020 displays 2 columns nicely but as soon as I change the page-zoom, it scrolls slowly and steadiltyupwards. I consider dumping the extension.

kh Jung (ID: 00000083659ed3d9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/26/2020 Great potential Thank you for your wonderful app. I found it very useful. While using it, I was wondering if I may ask you the following three questions. 1. It seems the screen scrolls automatically. How can I turn off this feature? 2. When I use "double read" extension, the website does not respond when I press page-down button. How can I make it work? 3. I was wondering if I could make more than two columns (e.g. up to five or six). Can I make this happen? Could you tell me what tools you have used make this extension and if it is not too complicated, teach me how I can make the above features happen? Sincerely, khj
