User reviews

the possibility to enter a specfici URL would be in an interesting improvement. The reason is some pages such as forums have a url which redirects eg www.my_favorite_forums.org/id=123?page=last so if I could enter this page and have it auto refresh it would automatically go to the last page each refresh eg: www.my_favorite_forums.org/id=123&page=456
