User reviews
Nice, but it's a bit annoying that the page starts rendering and the it gets moved. Would it possible to render directly at the desired position? Also the extension UI could be a bit nicer.
It works where many other do not. Suggestion: it would be very useful to also have controls to align the page more to the left or to the right.
