I think a tutorial would be nice, maybe a "tour" in the popup itself or some YouTube videos to explain the features and how the extension works. |

welcoming new tab with some option listed and explanation on the side? |

One thing that I find extremely annoying when working with extensions is having new windows with "welcoming" forced to you. I would find it much nicer to have the extension contain a notice when opened for the first time, asking you to either click "learn more" or a "guide" button (which redirects you to the side for information) and a "no thanks" button if you are already familiar with the extension. |

Hi @Michael82548 ...because the whole screen changes? it is the standard though & hitting CTRL+W can be faster, than navigating mouse to a custom spot 🤔. BTW did you deinstall any extensions because they show release-notes with every update?😆😆 |

It really should be a standard. I know that it is in Firefox (or some branches), but a release page or button in the extensions page to view release notes should be added in Chromium. Then that would open a simple txt document in the extensions menu showing release notes for each new version (releasenotes.txt could be added in the extension's root folder). Knowing authors though, they will probably keep pushing release notes pages because the average user likely wouldn't care about what changes are made in each version. |

If you end up adding this feature, please have a flag be set in the settings or settings file (like "tutorial_shown = 1"), with an optional toggle to view the tutorial again in the options menu. This would make updating or re-installation with the settings less annoying for users that already viewed it. I still believe that showing a hint on a tutorial would be best implemented on extension activate (clicked) with it asking you if you want a tutorial to be shown. Selecting "skip" would set the tutorial shown value in settings to true, and it will no longer show up unless manually triggered again or the settings data is cleared or reset. |

Thursday we got over 2800 installs for the first time.
Several might not bring the persistence to explore it all.
Many features: - Good for permanent users - 'overwhelming' for new users.
