2025-02-12	Ha*****	This extension is quite useful, but there are some features that I would really like to see added: 1. I often use the extension with the page-down button. Normally, I expect the next page to start from the top. However, on the last page, when the content ends prematurely, the next (last) page starts somewhere in between. This disrupts the reading flow, as I have to manually search for the beginning of the text. 2. There is no indication of how much of the page has been read. It would be helpful to have a page number, scroll bar, or some other visual cue to track progress.
