I love this extension, but every time I open Chrome, it opens a tab that I don't want. I may end up removing the extension. The convenience is not worth the annoyance of seeing this every time I open Chrome: chrome-extension://cggpkbnlnicoanmphgkkcmidbpdacepn/src/browser_action/thanks.html

I seem to be having trouble with the extension. Up until a few months ago, the chrome extension worked like a charm. Now, I'm not able to generate a link for Google docs, sheets, etc. I just get a "Sorry, unable to open the file at this time." screen. I removed from Chrome and then re-installed and am still having issues.

Annoying tab advertisement every time the browser opens. Has not been updated to fix.
