  FAQ
  - Is it possible to set a popup always on top?
  
  Due to browser add-on limitations, this can't be done directly by the add-on. However, you can use third-party software like PowerToys to achieve this. Don't forget to uncheck "Close popup when origin window is focused" on the settings page.
  
  - Why are other actions triggered during preview?
  Try disabling other add-ons to see if the issue persists. If you're using Edge, also check edge://settings/superDragDrop. If the problem continues, please create an issue.
