Neil Shah (ID: 000000847c9f08d5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/03/2023 Love the simplicity of this extension and is exactly what I've been looking for! However, I do not like that I'm unable to disable it from automatically showing up when "opening a new tab" on Chrome. The only what to prevent that is to disable the extension altogether. Please provide a fix for this.
