It's awesome, it would be better if author could update high resolution of hand icons, as of year 2024, people already use 4K monitors :)
It would be nice if it had these features;
+ Scroll Speed. ( we should able to change the value via settings page. )
+ When we release it will Slide a little. ( we should able to change the value via settings page. )
+ Enable/Disable Key with keyboard. ( we should able to change the value via settings page. )
The extension is excellent.
It should have a hotkey setting, and it should be enabled by default on all sites or not, depending on whether the hotkey is enabled or not. Thank you.
