new tab should opens at last position or you have to provide an option to do so and top/bottom page's shortcuts shows no scrolling animation

아주 잘 사용하고 있습니다. 직관적이고, 대각선을 인식해서 좋은거 같아요. 계속 사용할거 같습니다. 하지만 xmind 마인드맵 사용시 우클릭을 써야하는 상황이 있는데, 이때 잠시 꺼두고 싶지만 확장프로그램을 꺼야하는 불편함이 있습니다. 간편하게 on/off 할 수 있는 기능이 있으면 좋을거 같아요. 아니네... 기능이 있었네요.. 근데 특정사이트를 제외한 모든 사이트에서 사용할 수 있게 하겠다는 옵션이 있으면 좋겠네요.
