User reviews

Does not support newer CCU auth, only deprecated username/pwd auth.

Does not allow modification of the URL in the address bar before submitting for purge for some inexplicable reason. This means purging redirects or initial, slightly different page URLs (before pushState for example) can't happen with this extension.

bueno esperaremos los de los otros navegadores ie,firefox,safari,etc
