| 2025-01-10 |  | | en | Sadly apparently every website I use (tried 5 or so different ones) besites google search does not allow to run this so sadly cant use it. |
| 2025-01-04 |  | | en | There is only one command I think is missing in this great tool. I often have hundred's of browser tabs open and I wish there were a command to highlight/blink the current tab so I knew which one it was. Is it possible for you to add this? |

| 2024-12-14 |  | | en | Seems great at first, but after a while it seems to cause terrible slowdowns. I am using the Brave browser btw. |
| 2024-12-11 |  | | en | so nice! it does less than surfingkeys but is far less overwhelming and the bindings mostly make sense. I don't like the "yt" for duplicate. Also "J" and "K" should be swapped in my mind. But that is easy to remap. the size and look of link hints is customisable so you can make letters bigger. |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | en | Love it. Thanks for the amazing work :) |
