しばらく前から、・リストアイテムの名前を変更出来ない・リストアイテムの順序を変えられない・クリック時に別タブで開けなくなったといった症状になり、一気に使いにくくなりました。いずれ修正されるかなと思って待ってましたが、一向に修正されません。同じ症状の人います？

This is probably my most used extension, but I noticed there was a change after one of the updates. I was able to edit the title of the links before, which was a useful feature, but later this feature went away. Can you add this again? I often save sites in different languages, and I would love to make my own notes to the link so I remember what they are.

Can you please make it close the current tab when we click on + or make an option to enable that? The extension is very useful btw. Thank you
