Overall the functionality of this extension is great - but the fact there is a floating icon that you can't turn off through settings (without turning off the extension) means that it will cover up the top left of the page you are on... which... is sometimes used for menus and logos etc on pages you might be viewing. yes you can move the floating toolbar - but - that is extra work for something I do not use anyway. It is a pity that this is the case because overall the extension is amazing.

Great extension... But since February 8 the Webook Panel isn't working. Please fix or update! Thanks from Argentina.

Very useful extension. Two questions: 1) Is it possible to export the collected highlights, e.g. in a csv form? 2) How can the logo that inserts itself in the top left corner of every page be removed?
