Do you find the delay (I've found it to be quite noticable) to be acceptable?
It seems to be adding somewhere between 2-3 seconds onto the process of
jumping to the intended URL.
Dealing with that once isn't much of an issue, but as I noticed in checking
the links I made in my own post here:

doing it 5 times gets to be a little annoying.
