User reviews

DO NOT USE. This extension needs to be reported as it causes all sorts of issues. It messes up YouTube, it kills dead ecommerce platforms and makes the browser act like it is under a very strict VPN.

Plugin is messing up youtube playback on chrome. Have to disable it in order to get normal playback and its also messing up some other websites like facebook ads and google ads. BEWARE
