User reviews
good stuff, nice addon, doesnt require too many permissions & just plain works. all though i really prefer the old interface. i dont like having to leave my webpage just to copy the video link, specially if i have a lot of tabs open. so for now, im using the old version till it gets fazed out or stops working. i really, really, really, cant stand having a new tab open instead of a pop up window just to copy a link. sorry had to dock 2 stars, as it works a treat, but now has become cumbersome for the way i use it. old interface version gets 5 stars tho..
