Alfredo Barral (ID: 00000095815df55b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/04/2013 The last update just ruined it. No more card previews, no autocard in the menu... It has become useless.

Nukeman (ID: 00000027ab4cf3f7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/30/2013 Basically, the newest update that changed the size and responsiveness of the popup killed this extension for me. It no longer works half the time, and it's either really slow or pops up every card on screen until i refresh
