great extension. nice work
by Bianca Bianca, 2024-02-24

The free trial seemed to work pretty well, although I sometimes had to turn off computer and try again. Then when I paid for it, it wasn't working at all. Tried to negotiate website to register, start, fix, etc. Unable to do so. I wanted this to be easy. Instead, it's frustrating and (for now) useless.
