This extension doesn't work. There are some errors in the code that aren't allowing it to open, however, if you use the bookmarklet found here (https://recordseek.com/get_started/) and drag it to your bookmark bar, then it works like a charm.

When it worked, it was great. Now, it hasn't worked in about a year.

Recordseek now works just fine for me here in Norway. There was a short period of time it did not, but that seems cleared up now. I also have a friend in Utah who just signed up and she says it works great !
