User reviews

Would love a tag filter, where you can specify 1 or more keyword(s) in a post title so it only alerts about those. Would also love an option to enable/disable it to pop out more when a post goes through. Missed a graphics card sale by an hour because I wasn't staring right at the extension. Still though, great extension, does what it says.
