Кот Мёртвый (ID: 00000093e0692706) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/27/2020 Practical, minimalistic and stylish. I don't understand why no one allows you to use mouse buttons in binds, even additional ones(in the old Opera, you could use the right+left mouse button to return, and it was infinitely convenient).
