User Reviews

Thanks, Tacu, for this incredibly handy addon! It has been extremely useful for my PHP development. When combined with the SFTP addon, which automatically updates files on the FTP after each save, the combination works flawlessly. I primarily use it for testing .php scripts or while developing an app live, without the need to manually refresh the website or page. This addon has truly streamlined my workflow!
