it's the only one simple enough that I would recommend it to others

Doesn't work when it's the only extension turned on in a freshly updated version of Chrome. The non-existent instructions are impressive. An image with arrows is not instructional when your extension is on and we click on a GMB business and nothing changes. You testing it and it still not working for users should tell you something about your testing. Wondering how many people don't even bother leaving a bad review.
