Extension summary

Opera has a neat feature called FastForward that detects 'next' links on pages and allows you to use the space bar to not only scroll down, but when the bottom of the page is hit it will automatically advance to the next page for continuous mouse free reading.

This extension brings the same features opera users were used to to the chrome browser. Please feel free to reply with any questions or problems with the extension.

History: 1.2.2 Removed 'more' as a next word, it caused trouble with many sites and isn't worth it as a default, but can always be added back in if you need it on the options page.

1.2.1 Added discovery of image links with alt="next" tags

1.1.2 Fixed bug in loading default excludedUrl list.

1.1.1 Fixed bug detecting input field.

1.1.0 Add ability to exclude links from being detected as a 'next page' link. For example don't treat the 'More' link from the google drop down as a next page link.

I can't use it, because it doesn't even say how to. I also noticed that there is a lot of fake reviews on this.
