After update (preview shows in new window) the extension have become very annoying. I'm removing it.

В новом окне стало намного лучше. Было б подешевле - купил бы.

превью в новом окне - очень не удобно. с радостью поставлю 5 если вернете как было или дадите возможность выбора (update: теперь превью работает отлично. ставлю 5)

iFrame back, 5 Stars again! And BTW. Nice Extention and I even would pay some bucks at a one-time-deal but 11€ EVERY year ... that's out of proportion.

A useful extension, no more free. I had been using it from last 1 year. Recently instead of preview the page would rather pop out in new window. Its bit annoying. I tried reinstalling but didn't worked.

Сегодня отключил ваше расширение, очень неудобной показалась функция открытия в новом окне: фокус уходит, чтобы перейти по ссылке приходится нажимать два раза (раз для возврата фокуса, второй для перехода). Пока не прочитал чейнджлог, думал это баг. Кроме фокуса подбешивает открытие окна на третьем слева мониторе, а браузер открыт на первом (у меня их несколько). Вообщем неюзабельно стало. А вот как раньше работало — пятёрочка звезд. Нужно что-то делать с фокусом и позиционированием

What did you do.. first came those ridiculous handles one had to search for to get the page to open in a new tab.. Now there is this equally ridicoulus pop-out which forces the entire browser window to disapear and all one is left with is this popout and no browser on the desktop.. to add insult to injury, in the 'free' version it is impossible to integrate the pop-out into the web browser. and 14.99 a year.. For what exactly.. Email apps that have far more options .. that work, and they are free or donate.... there is an old expression ..that fits perfectly here.. If It Is Not Broken .. Do not try and fix It.. Go back to what you had.. Ask for Donations..or at the very least a one off price that guarantees all future updates are free for premium users.. Greed Kills..Absolute greed kills absolutely.. My advice to anyone who uses this extension 'delete now' use switch to firefox there are better preview options. And to the developer.. 14.99 a year.. laughable.. Don't quit your day job...
