2023-05-12	Ashi Ashi			Great extension, very useful. I doubt the developer will read this, since it says this extension was last updated on 16 September 2014, but you never know... What surprises me is that you can only allow a maximum of 4 icons to show when hovering over a link, while there's a total of 44 different ones of them that could indicate what kind of page a link will take you to. Am I doing something wrong, CAN it actually show more than 4? In that case, I hope someone can tell me. I'd like for it to show at least 10 icons as indicators, even though I know it's very unlikely for a single link to make all 10 of them appear. But if you've picked only 4 of them and the link you're checking will take you to another kind of page (which has an indicating icon, but you didn't check it because you already picked 4 others), then it won't tell you... The reason mentioned above is why I'm giving 4 starts out of 5. Without this little issue I'd give it 5 stars.

2017-10-21	A Google user			Thrilled you forked this for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. It's working in Vivaldi browser too. Some bugs whether in Chrome or Vivaldi. On certain pages, haven't figured out the pattern yet, the icons end up being giant-sized, and vertically-oriented. Which also flips the X Y offset settings. They end up being treated as images that are on top of the link, preventing the link from being either clicked or right-click copied. Articles on Rollingstone.com and some on CNN often display this problem. But great effort for a first fork to Chromium, and your adding the toolbar button for enable/disable makes it easy to turn off on sites with the problem, in order to get links to work.

2014-04-09	Jordan GROSS			Awesome! I used this little addon with Firefox, but I have big bugs from version 29 ... I revert to chrome and I find this extension! I just installed it and I'll see if customization is also good to see better on Firefox! Thank you!
