Dear Developer, Thank you for the project. The idea is nice, but it seems it doesn't work currently. Same lags appear after ~100 posts scrolled. Best and kind regards

Çalışıp çalışmadığı belli değil, eklentiyi kapattığım zaman bile sayfalar ve yayınlar aynı hızda yükleniyor. Ayrıca ekstra özelliklerde yüklense iyi olur madem tarayıcıda kalabalık yapacak resimleri ve videoları indirme gibi sponsorlu reklamları engelleme gibi ek faydaları olsaydı iyi olurdu.
