User reviews

Of all the extensions I tried, this is the only one that allowed me to use the F8, F10, F4 keys...

od verze 4.1.4. je nefunkční spuštění bookmarklet. Verze vyšla 18.12.2024 a ani dnes 3.2.2025 není chyba stále opravena. Pokud by to šlo, dal bych 0 hvězd

Great, but it should have an option to not use it on a certain site and remember that setting.
