Great work! I would pay for this as a Safari plugin.

  Thank you! My next step is to submit the extension to the Edge and Safari platforms. I expect the Safari review process to be more rigorous, so I will address some existing issues before submitting.

After having tested it a bit more, I have noticed the following issues: – It is quite slow to load on most pages. That's the biggest issue. – The popup window with instructions get annoying after some uses, I suggest putting it more discrete as just a floating button with the text "Instructions" on the bottom of the screen. – The tools menu needs descriptive text along with the icons. I couldn't understand easily what the icons meant. – On my device, the stylus by default had a drawing function. I would prefer that the stylus could be used to turn pages just like a finger, or highlight text on long press. – My stylus and many other stylus have a button for secondary "right click" functions. Maybe you could use this to bring up menus? – In general I think a floating bottom menu with some basic functions would be more user friendly, especially for beginners. The menu could have a close button to be easily removed so that people can use gestures instead. Like I suggested in the last thread about your project, I think you could make a great web browsing experience for Kindle devices, by combining your project with ebookmode: https://ebookmode.dropdatabase.es https://ebookmode.dropdatabase.es

  Thank you very much for your suggestions. These are very constructive and I will try to implement them in the future. Could you tell me which browser and environment you’re using? I’m trying to figure out why it loads slowly.

    Hi! This was on a Boox Tab X, trying on Firefox and Chrome. I will make some more tests and get back to you.

      Thank you. I really appreciate your help. By the way, the v0.0.2 update has been released. I added a function to remove 80 ~ 90 % of the Ads on any webpages to make the layout cleaner. And some desktop users want dark theme, so I added a switch to toggle between dark and light theme. As for UI improvement, I'll do it in the later updates.
