Recent reviews
this needs updated. the most recent browser update has caused the extension to no longer open the browser on start, no longer fullscreens the window and instead of starting the slideshow the browser is prompting for user input to restore closed tabs.

Exactly what I was looking for. Switchtes between different pages in Fullscreen mode.

It is very inconvenient because I have to write each url one by one. I need the ability to paste many Internet addresses at once.
