User reviews

Не соответствует время пинга с тем, которое получаем в системном окне командной строки. Расширение всегда показывает значение пинга больше в несколько раз. Некоторые сайты при тесте вообще не пингуются, но при нажатии на ссылку адреса они нормально открываются. Хотелось бы уменьшить высоту строк, чтобы на экране помещалось больше адресов. В отличие от системной командной строки, тут адрес надо вводить целиком, включая "https://". К сожалению, альтернативы этому расширению я не нашел.
