Rostyslav (ID: 000000de90c486d6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/10/2024 Cool. Everything works as written in description

Google Account Onem Production (ID: 000000c8fe229acc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/07/2024 Very good but sometimes it scrolls up a bit when scrolling down. I'll test it at home with a different mouse, as I suspect it's the problem with my mouse at work. Update: Yes, the problem was the mouse. It also scrolls up a little when I'm not using the extension.

Kenny McCormick (ID: 0000005242a1567a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/19/2023 The popups and the fact that it opens a new page after every update was off-putting. It didn't really make a whole lot of difference to begin with.

Riky X (ID: 000000f193da5086) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/15/2023 I have it for years now, but recently started to break some webpages, like some search bars (Reddit as example). When you want to type a space with spacebar, it does scroll the page instead. had to disable it. Please fix.
