User reviews
I have been using this for years and I am very happy with it. It does exactly what it says, every time, without fail. As of March 2025 Chrome started complaining about it, but I'm going to keep using it for as long as Chrome lets me. I am hopeful that the developer will update it to V3 before the V2 final cutoff.

I am still happily using it in February 2025 and wishing the developer success in creating a version that will be compatible with Manifest V3.

I hope Google will not take it down.
