User reviews
This extension is really helpful and amazing. But I don't know for some days I am facing a issue. Whenever I click on this extension it appears with a loading bar. And loading bar loads and loads. I waited so long but it didn't go any further. Kindly help me to or suggest me how should I resolve this issue.
Since that last WhatsApp update, none of those bypass extensions are working anymore.
Do you have any plans on making it work again?
