I love this addon, and want to give it 5 stars after using it for 5 years now, but can't because of an issue described in the quoted review below. THE AUDIO FOR THIS CLIP thing is haunting my dreams, sometimes yomichan triggers randomly on non-japanese words and before it would be fine but now I (and whoever I'm talking with on discord/messenger/...) has to listen to this horrible thing. Please give us an option to have revert to the clicking sound, have custom audio for that, or mute that PLEASE.
> It used to make a click sound when it failed to get audio for a word (which is fine) but now instead there is a LONG audio of someone saying "The audio for this clip is not available. Thank you for your patience". It is so ANNOYING to have to hear that every time I hover over a word and there isn't an audio for it. Please change it back, remove it or give the option to put my own sound
