Works well but just needs; -Option for which edge of screen it appears on (left, right, top or bottom) -Option for middle-click page reload

Hi Philipp, I just downloaded it and I will try for a while to see if I will get used to it and also to see if it will be even easier simply clicking the dedicated "back" button on the side of my mouse... Meanwhile, as an idea for improvement from someone who has no idea about coding may be; Would it be possible to add the "HOLD TO SEE HISTORY" funcionality, just like what happens when you "click and hold" the back arrow of the Chrome? Thanks a lot for your creative extensions. 👏🏻
