User reviews

I need to test it first, but if it works then thank you so much. Nothing freaks' me out more when out of the blue a god dang tab will separate and go full screen! "Omg I'm going to loose everything, I typed! Where'd the page go?! There it is. It's separate. HUH? I really, really, really hate who ever came up with this feature. Anything that interferes with being able to write is extremely pizzy. I am grateful for this extension,. You need to link your paypal.me so we can easily donate.
