Pretty good but would like it to open in the center rather than corners. And, wish it could open as a popup near the word we highlight rather than a new window. It would be nice to have that setting so we could choose which one we'd like to use. Not much settings as of now, just provider and location. No sizing, etc. It's just a quick way to reach those 4 providers (websites).
