Recent reviews
Does exactly what it says it will do, efficiently and smoothly. Unlike the experience of other reviewers, there are a number of email clients you can use. Right click when you're on the desired web page, select the "Share link via email" and you are presented with five choices.

Works well for sharing a page via my web email (Outlook). Nice that you can activate via a keyboard shortcut
It would be nice if, once activated, you could navigate the different options via arrow keys, tab etc (but perhaps not technically possible?)
Minimised this to some degree by deselecting all the email options except Outlook so now just shows Outlook and Options but requires the mouse to select Outlook so hoping key navigation can be added if possible

After the latest Chrome update do not work anymore with local email client (like Outlook or Mail) on a Mac. Just with online software like Gmail or Office365. Maybe developer can update.
