I have a demo version installed since ages and apart from reminding me to register it now and then it totally works since ages. Except in Firefox and Safari for some reason. But in both browsers there was an annoying screen distortion going on anyway when it worked there, so I don't miss it there anyway. > I liked it when I used the trial a year ago or so. I like it in long lists when I'm too lazy to go over to the scrollbar or the keyboard and just flicking down hard on the touchpad gets me quite a way with it. I wouldn't pay for it, honestly. As soon as the demo stops working I will uninstall it and that's it. It just doesn't work good enough in the only places I would like it to work (FF and Safari).
