User reviews

No clue the way it works....

Roman Ihnatov, 2024-01-11

None of the site-specific options did anything. Reloading the page (in fullscreen) with and without the extension enabled on each site made no difference. The auto function worked on Amazon and made Reddit comments use the whole width of the window before wrapping, but ruined all Youtube video thumbnails, and there is no way to whitelist or blacklist sites for the auto function, ultimately making the extension functionally unusable. Cool concept, poor execution.
