Excellent, and works flawlessly. Would like to see other svcs implemented. (Not bloat - just useful additions like MS360, Proton Mail, maybe a couple others I'm not remembering now. Failing that, maybe just custom links. And an Rss reader... and a file browser, better yet - make it a desktop OS app that lives in the tasbar, or... lol - seriously though - It's great and keep up the good work. As an aside - the donate buttons aren't working.
