Very useful app if using the Google Ecosystem. All Google-apps I use (and dozens I don't) are here. The shortcut menu is easily customizable and extendable. Recommended! --- previous 2-star Review 14.04.2024, removed since developer promptly fixed the issue "Read and change all your data on all websites?" Why not creating a new Extension for the "GMail this" feature instead of risking losing the trust of your users? The number of popular extensions/apps/websites that have been taken over/hijacked/sold out over the years has made me cautious about sudden, excessive permission changes. This extension stays disabled for now..

Please can someone suggest an alternative now that they demand access to read and change data on all websites? Used to be a 5 star extension. I was OK there was a page pop-up each week as some people must click the ads on that page so that's our little payment. Maybe not enough payment.... Because these new permission changes sound very dodgy. Time to move on. I am keeping it active for a day or two but certainly won't be logging into any sites while it is enabled.
