Not receiving any rewards on mobile and cannot get computer to activate for Chrome Extension
by Kenneth Odenweller, 2025-01-07

Use to work, then all of a sudden getting emails that it it not active, which is BS. Slows the browser down also.
by richyque, 2025-01-04

I liked them just fine and had no problems on the mobile, chromebook, or laptop. Then the last month with no changes (unless it was an update that didn't like the app) It quit working on my phone and on my chrome book. On the laptop it wants to use the edge browser, but is only set up on chrome, I dislike edge intensely.
