| 2023-04-25 |  | | en | I'm sure this used to toggle on/off without refreshing the page, but now it trigegrs a refresh and is completely pointless for development purposes. |
| 2024-11-12 |  | | en | This used to be one of my favorite extensions, worked great. However the new update has problems and is never really clear if JS is on or off. |
| 2024-11-11 |  | | en | It's been great for years, but now the toggle doesn't work. Chrome 130.0.6723.58 (Official Build) (x86_64), MacOS 14.7 |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | en | changing the icon was a bad idea. it's so small i can't tell if it's toggled on or off and the colors are too light to easily distinguish. also it stopped working altogether until i uninstalled/reinstalled, which i only figured out to do by reading the reviews here. |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | en | Worked fine for the past 2 years but whatever upgrade must have happened made it not work. I go to a news site I have gone to in the past and hit their paywall. I try to click the switch in the extension and nothing happens, paywall still there. |
| 2024-11-07 |  | | en | Has been amazing for me. I did notice that it had stopped working on / around Nov 5, 2024 - but followed the developer's suggestion of uninstalling and reinstalling and it's back to the way it was! |
| 2024-11-05 |  | | en | Today it stopped working |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | en | Version 2.1.0 (2024-11-01) was completely broken for me until I uninstalled and reinstalled. The icon was grey and clicking on it did nothing. "Clear all rules" did not help. It seems to work now that I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I'm sad that it doesn't remember my setting for each site (I don't know if this is because I uninstalled or because I cleared all rules). |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | en | No longer works after version update. Will update my review if it's ever fixed. |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | en | Used to be great and now it doesn't toggle anymore. |
