Jarno (ID: 000000495d168382) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/28/2018 Thanks for a great extension! Would be great if there was an option to have wider popup window. With my screen resolution could easily fit 5 columns with medium size. For me the shortcut ctrl-shift-f doesn't work. Using macOS with Chrome Canary.
