Please add a better option menu, more intuitive and appealing (with intuitive icon, selecting by a mouse click etc)

This is a fantastic extension for everyone who has exposure to foreign languages.
Truly, one of the best things in my life. Makes living in China insanely better.
I can easily consult all pronunciations I don't know. Magical.
A little request to the author: can I ask for a one simple more feature? I'm already quite good with many characters, and I would like to selectively hide pronunciations. Maybe I could just write down a list of character-pronunciation pairs, or Alt-click a character. Or, maybe just hide the pronunciations of, say, all HSK1 characters? They are easy, and I most probably know them, and if I don't then I can easily spot them.
I found this repo: https://github.com/juozhe/panlatin , but it is empty.
