User reviews

Please update the extension. It stopped working. It is very inconvenient to work without it.

F off, google. What I use on MY computer does not need to follow YOUR best practice or terms of service. If anything, it's YOU that needs to earn your position, and you're losing it.

Broken now. It'll no longer save the options. Everything gets set to and stuck on "Default".
