| 2021-04-22 |  | | This extention is using 100 percent of my CPU especially when I go to google.com and search for something. I'm almost sure that it's using user's computer for mining. | |

| 2020-04-16 |  | | I don't know how well it works, but when I installed it, it showed a bar called "Ciuve" or something like that. I don't know if that's just an old name for the extension, or if there's some bait-and-switch going on with something that harvests all your data. Unfortunately I've seen the latter happen way too often with other Chrome extensions, so I'm uninstalling it. | |

| 2019-10-02 |  | | Constantly shows me the next best thing, not the exact product I'm looking for. Sometimes, the next best thing isn't even close to what I'm looking for. UI is very bulky and not very customisable. I would very much have preferred to be able to search through the extension rather than passive price-comparisons of unrelated products. Wouldn't recommend. | |
