en Works awsome for twitch drops. I can minimize my window and still get the drops without having to watch a random streamer.

en This app's great for the most part! The only problem I've found is that it seems to break certain trusted sites from working properly. Would there be any chance of a blacklist system being implemented? Opera's extension system only works as a whitelist, which is not ideal for applications like this, where it's preferable the app is running by default unless otherwise dictated by the user.
