Chrome 5.0.375.17 dev on OSX: I am unable to drag the button.

Thanks, I'll look into it. It's working for me on Chrome 5.0.342.9 on OSX.

It's a chrome bug as far as I know. He'll just have to wait until the dev builds are updated to fix this problem.

I'm using Chromium 5.0.386.0 and it's not supported by your app. Is this right?

You'll have problems in Denmark - pik means dick. I must admit that I found the heading " Do more on the web with pik. " rather amusing.

Also doesn't help that the screenshot on the page includes the words "Reverse Cowgirl"...

Try closing the notification and using it anyways. I'm whitelisting browsers that work and I haven't gotten around to all of them.

Most of this feedback is technical; can someone comment on whether they would use this or some future iteration of this project?

It looks like a competitor. Pik has a UI that's in the browser window rather than a pop-up prompt, which allows you to search for commands. Pik also shows you what commands are popular on a given site/page, which makes it easier to discover commands.

Same in The Netherlands. 'Pik' is slang for penis.

Denmark and Netherlands using the same slang is easy to understand. But it's quite strange that in Brazil it means the exactly same thing.
