    The first rule of computing is never fix what ain't broken and sadly Andrew has broken that rule. The new presentation of results is awful. Not only does it gratuitously double the size of the report by putting blank lines between each entry but the entry lines are obscured by a grey background making them much harder to read to the point where I'm considering looking for a different tool.

    Link Gopher has been a core tool for me for many years but unless this new report is scrapped and replaced with something comparable to the original basic text report I'll be looking for a new tool. Perhaps providing a setting to switch off the presentation formatting is the answer?

    Equally changing the icon is not a smart move either because i spent an hour looking for where it disappeared to before realising that it had been changed to what is a far less recognisable design. Using grey again is a bad idea. Change it to a more vibrant dark background colour and make the whole thing bigger so that the white links can be seen. It just looks like a grey blob on my menu line currently.

    Thank you for the helpful comment. On Mozilla, I disabled Link Gopher version 2.6.1, which makes version 2.5.0 the primary version. I assume it will not downgrade you automatically, so you may need to reinstall. Let me know how it goes. In the future, the best place to report an issue is on the Link Gopher page on GitHub.

    It does NOT extract "embedded, referrer-type links".
    Filter is only inclusive ("Links without this string will be ignored."), I'd rather have exclusive or be able to chose between.

    I have many subscriptions to ASMR channels and I want to use this to automatically save the links so I wont have to scroll. Turns out, this cant detect all of them, I used extract by filter and it doesn't meet expectations, its based on the link characters not the characters of the Youtube title. Extracting all links does work however.
