I really like this extension! wish it included more lines but still great nonetheless

Cool app! Needs a bigger database of "first lines" though. I should not see repeats within the first 20 uses.

Its all good but could be better if the line could disappear at a press of a button so I can access the shortcuts in the new tab page.
