Great extension. I have been using it for many years! It could be more customizable (colors, persistence, etc.), but it was still very well developed. ----------------------------------------------- Ótima extensão. Uso há muitos anos! Poderia ser mais customizável (cores, persistência, etc.), mas mesmo assim foi muito bem desenvolvida.
