Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

This extension requires permissions to inject a piece of code in all of the pages you visit. If that freaks you out, that's ok. Handing over those permissions freaks me out too.

You can choose to install this extension from source (it's very short) to make sure it's not doing anything malicious.

Fixed a really stupid thing. Handy. Good. Neat. Shouldn't need to exist but I'm glad that it does. HEY CHROME USERS WHY DO A THING WITH ONE BUTTON WHEN YOU CAN DO IT WITH TWO?!

Thanks for bringing this feature back. Chrome's decision of replacing a frequently used shortcut to a two-key both-hand shortcut does not feel considerate. The reason sited for removal of this feature is that some people accidentally navigated back while they wanted to delete the last entered key. For many years I have never had such problems and it does not feel right to be punished because some other people cannot use their browser properly. Well at least we have the choice to install this extension..

Неужто нельзя было галочку в настройках оставить?
