Amir Tangestani (ID: 0000003e8bbf2adc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/22/2024 amazing plugin! thank you! Quick question: Let's say I've assigned the website at www.example.com to the button and the website is already open in a tab. Is it possible to configure the button so when I click on it, it would open the already-open tab instead of opening a new tab? Update: I'd appreciate a reply to this. Thank you

Chris Vydas (ID: 000000a1b7cc9ce4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/22/2023 Not only did this not work. Why does it need to read my browsing history. A custom button has nothing to do with that!? Uninstalled and not recommended

Ville Mononen (ID: 000000986f89a191) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/21/2023 It's good! I only wish even more buttons could be included. But, it's better than nothing that's for sure. Thanks a lot!
