User reviews

This extension is well-suited for Manifest V3, which seems to be the only system it currently supports. Previously, controlling any website was more straightforward, but now we need to rely on headers for this purpose. The main concern with this approach is that certain websites may not function as expected, especially if they don't support adding headers. I didn't added another star because description and title doesn't fit well for it.

It's a very good extension, but without ability to save settings across restarts It is very annoying. only if it could remember the settings per website after restart it would be great!
