User reviews

This extension is spyware: every time you visit a website, it sends the full URL to their server for who knows what purposes - even for login pages. If they really cared about security, this would use a hashing algorithm like the Safe Browsing API. The extension tries to hide that fact that it's sending out this data by obfuscating the request payload through a series of transformations, including a bitwise XOR (255).

Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact.
