Would be nice if we could customize the font in which the link is shown. The current font I do not like.

Ferenc Radics, 2020-01-17The extension is quite helpful. However, in my experience with it, it frequently gets stuck somewhere on the screen blocking that portion of the UI. Also, once it gets stuck on the screen it is very difficult to remove it. I wish there was a dedicated bar at the top of chrome or bottom of Chrome which could become invisible as soon as the mouse is removed from the link. Currently, it is very annoying because of the way it gets stuck.
