| 2025-01-12 |  | | en | Spent about an hour trying to research ways to fix my browser to open a compose email tab properly upon clicking a mail to link. I wanted to do this by just adjusting gmail or chrome settings, but the handler once I found it didn't have anything I could actually adjust. Ridiculous that two products from the same company don't integrate better. It was google workspace so maybe that's why. Anyway, I finally found a suggestion to try this extension, and now five minutes later I have the functionality I was looking for. Yay! |

| 2024-06-06 |  | | en | Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn |
