google is nice but i like

Estou recebendo ameaças de que a extensão, diga-se de passagem extremamente útil e funcional, vai ser removida do Chrome/WebStore e manda que eu procure alternativas. Por quê? excluir o que funciona? Das alternativas recomendadas, ou: - simplesmente não têm a mesma funcionalidade e fazem qualquer coisa. - não têm a mesma eficiência dessa. A caça às bruxas começou, mas estão caçando as bruxas erradas.
