User reviews

great extension connecting between UWP apps and the internet browser would love to see more!

Issue: If you only have one tab open, and you've selected that it closes the tab when open the UWP companion app, then the browser closes. If you then re-open the browser, and you've set it to open to the last page used, you have yourself a frustrating loop...
