displays 2 columns nicely but as soon as I change the page-zoom, it scrolls slowly and steadiltyupwards. I consider dumping the extension.

Great potential Thank you for your wonderful app. I found it very useful. While using it, I was wondering if I may ask you the following three questions. 1. It seems the screen scrolls automatically. How can I turn off this feature? 2. When I use "double read" extension, the website does not respond when I press page-down button. How can I make it work? 3. I was wondering if I could make more than two columns (e.g. up to five or six). Can I make this happen? Could you tell me what tools you have used make this extension and if it is not too complicated, teach me how I can make the above features happen? Sincerely, khj

Right now Double Read is the only extension that (somewhat successfully) attempts to create 2 independent pages, no matter the site. I would love to see more progress with this extension. For example on reddit, there is a conflict between Reddit Enhancement Suite and this extension. The extension overrides any visual styles, coming from RES or Dark Reader.. Getting that fixed would be great. It would also be nice to have added functionality with something like a site list/white list which you can have it automatically load, or choose between 2 & 3 columns. Infinite possibilities! Please keep working on this awesome extension Andres!!
