Thank you. That is super big. I did push Wikipedia to be more in front when it is relevant. Also I did increase the column width a good amount yesterday after everyone's feedback. I tried widening it even more, but then the images felt too big and less columns are shown. I think it is a pretty good balance right now.

As for implementation, it should be easy to allow users to remove any boxes, right? PS : As for the clickable round circles, if there is a list with some black circles and others white, it just feels…

It's very good (will definitely consider moving). Some user feedback: 1) Dark Mode please 2) Toggleable websites; I saw that the websites I was seeing were black-circles in the panel below the search box. I instinctively tried to click on youtube to not see youtube box. It would also be nice to have a global panel where users can choose if they never want to see a certain website. But these^ are just me being super p…
