User reviews

it works as such, but the presented meta data is grossly incomplete. also, it's kinda ugly that this adds only a tool bar icon (which just wastes space for most content) rather than a context menu entry. fwiw, there exists a task regarding adding this functionality to chrome itself: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=93619
