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. Please try it out more now and let me know if you get used to it.

Yeah, I think that's because it's retina?

I've been using this pretty heavily for the last couple of days and I am liking it with the exception of one issue which is becoming a deal-breaker for me: it defaults to opening a new tab, which means that back isn't useful. I could always close the tab, but I have that burned into my muscle memory. Since the shortcut for opening a new tab is also an easy one for most people (cmd-click) it seems unnecessary to force it, IMO. Your call, though :)

I just added a setting to disable "Open in a new tab". Disable it from the drop down menu on the right of the search input, and let me know if that works well for you now?
