Muhammet Sarakaya (ID: 000000b96a4e8e2a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/17/2023 This plugin does everything it promises to do and works great. Also, the tiny pop-up window looks very elegant and modern compared to other plugins that also work with pop-up windows. I'm glad I discovered this plugin. I really love it.
