Eu fiquei sem internet por culpa dessa extensão. Bastou desativa-la para a rede voltar ao normal.

Sam Wintcher da Mata, 2025-03-24El mejor de todos. Los demás que hay en la tienda de extensiones no sirven. Este es completo. Funcional, y correcto.

Sofía Vargas, 2025-03-22Google has quietly delisted this extension from searches since years, despite being the most power-user oriented extension of its kind and by far the most popular (400k while all others are sub 2k). The only reason I reinstalled it was because someone linked the Github page, which then linked to here. Otherwise, I thought this extension was discontinued a long time ago. Thanks Google, for repeatedly intentionally sabotaging the reach of all extensions that are good and useful (and interfere with your mass-tracking obsessions)! Laughable blatancy.
