- Rated 4 out of 5by M P, a month agoThis rating would be 5 stars off the bat but I feel like this extension takes too many liberties with its default options that are both unnecessary and intrusive.
I did not realize the popup summary, for instance, was coming from this extension. It pops up instantly and blocks your view from the main page, the hover feature really needs a minimum hover time of at least ~50ms before blocking half the page with an intrusive preview.
Similarly the floating menu bar is something that makes Nexus far more annoying to navigate.
Also, why is there no option to either disable "this mod hasn't been updated in 5 months!" or at least an option to change the time frame. It's stuff like this that should be a no-brainer yet are conspicuously absent in the options.
I'm still going to continue using this extension now that I've disabled these annoying features but IMHO they should not be on by default, or at least, make it more transparent that they are coming from this extension.Developer response
posted a month agoHello, and thank you for the rating. The Image Pop-Up is instantaneous because it was designed that way, and I've kept it like this since it's proven very useful when browsing many mods or images. That said, you're right that an accidental hover shouldn't trigger it — I'll add a configurable delay in a future version.
About the outdated mod warning: this is a new feature, and I hadn't considered adding an option to disable it until now. I'll add that in the next update.
In general, most functions are active by default because many users install the extension without knowing how it works (or that it can be configured), and end up thinking something is broken when a feature is actually just disabled. Defaulting everything on makes the extension's value visible on first use. That said, you raise a fair point that some features might be intrusive enough that they should start off, and I'll reconsider this for a future release.
If you have more feedback, feel free to reach out on the extension's NexusMods page — I read everything there. Thanks again!
