You can. I misread what he wrote, when I saw "options", for some reason, I put
a different  meaning to it (he undoubtedly meant "engines"). In any event, despite 
never having used it, the TM plugin is obviously very powerful so anything Relf 
believes Chrome isn't capable of (with respect to these kinds of things), he may 
want to take another look. The downside is you need knowledge of JS if you 
really want custom stuff.
