please update this great extension to fit Google rules and stay on my browser, too useful to let it go. if not possible, do you know any alternative to toggle a popup in chrome with shortkey ?

The extension does what it is supposed to perfectly, but please follow the web store recommendations man

Anton Wahlberg, 2025-03-07

this is a perfect extension, This extension specifically is the ideal, platonic form of what a chrome extension should be, It's snappy, fast, minimal UI, never glitches, customizable keyboard shorcut, even the options menu is perfect and minimal it takes away from the visual clutter rather than adding to it Unlike most modern bloatware, this extension, without begging for attention, quietly does its job and it executes that job perfectly Every other software company in the world should look at this extension and aspire, dream that they'll ever make anything this clean, simple and effective
