User reviews

Works well and simply, with minimally invasive and easily revokable permissions. The link to source code doesn't lead to an actual repo, however, which is a big problem as far as transparency of a self-described "open source" plugin.

thank you for making a minimal permissions extension that does this! Many many thanks. UPDATE: The link to the extension source code is broken I can't find the repository anywhere else on github. I looked at the Chrome extensions source and it's just one big minified file that includes react. Nothing suspicious about minification, but I wish I could see the real source somewhere. Of course with the minimal permission set the source doesn't really matter. But given the privacy conscious audience this extension is targeting, I think keeping the source on github, or non-minifying it, would be appreciated.
