Andy K (ID: 000000cc49e39d2f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 Works okay but the Chrome right click menu always pops up when using it which is very annoying because you to have to left click again somewhere on the screen to make that right click menu disappear (so lots of clicks). If the developer could please make the Chrome right click menu stop always appearing when using this extension that would be great because in Opera that doesn't happen...
