User reviews

This WAS a great extension! I loved it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work any longer. :( Maybe it's the new version of Chrome? Or maybe it's the new version of Supermium? I don't know. But unfortunately it is no longer working for me. If it still worked, I'd give it 5 stars! But since it no longer does, I can only give it 3. That's sad, since it WAS such a great extension! I *loved* it during the time it still worked.
