Joe Hilby (ID: 000000e6df741413) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/29/2023 Really like all of the links added! Two features to add if considering upgrades: Full page or thumbnail options to the link when sending an email, and secondly, a right click menu from anywhere on a page (for all the same options shown on the toolbar). Great stuff, thanks!
