User reviews

Broken plugin- can't access menu when you click on it only shows a glitched few-pixel strip. Also forces open drop-down menus whenever they appear on a website and you can't close them.

Left click, dropdown menu layout is messy When going to https://www.deepl.com and clicking the "Hyper Bold" button, the page doesn't display.

It works but the settings menu is broken. This is a simple fix. In the CSS coding of the body for the dropdown, put: 'width: 20rem;' It also makes it so you cannot edit text on whatsapp, not sure about other social media platforms
