Necip A. (ID: 000000c3ac7d93f0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/22/2023 I have been trying to make a similar extension for 2-3 days. You have done it, you have done it much better, I wish I had seen it before, I would not have tried so hard. + I wish there was a pop up option. For example, when I search for words in Cambridge, 820 x 1180 popup would open on the right side of the screen without adress bar and I would never have to change tabs. Please add that.

George George01 (ID: 0000004092b53516) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/27/2022 Топ расширение, намного удобнее и быстрее стало взаимодействие с браузером.

Viktor Engineer (ID: 0000008250950681) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/09/2022 Разработчик огромный молодец, такие функции должны быть по умолчанию. Есть пара пожеланий - заменить палитру на менее вырвиглазную (слишком много красных плиток) и добавить поиск по картинкам яндекс. Спасибо

Fred Eric (ID: 000000ba8deb085b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/27/2022 The best of its kind. I’ve been awaiting such extension for years. I used to use something similar in firefox 2, ages ago. Broken by upgrades.
