User friendly, does as promised
I use Google Optimise and instead of adding the anti-flicker code I added this. Works beautifully. Could use a few more animations, maybe a few different colours of the same animations so webmasters can cater for their site's colour scheme. But all in all excellent.

No longer maintained?
Last update for 2 years. It's a pity, the plugin was nice. The loader do not display anymore in Firefox.

Superb plugin
Great plugin, however, the loader is off-center to the right. Would be great if you fixed this.
