User reviews

This extension is amazing for working while on a metered connection (hotspot with data limit). My only suggestion would to be add a few more fine controls. Specifically I'd like an ON/OFF switch that I can toggle quickly for use when I get back on an unmetered connection. I'd also like to be able to see a list of website's that I have set custom settings for. Right now the only way is to check by going to each domain and checking the extensions, would be cool to have them all in one place. These are very minor issues though, this is an amazing tool, anybody on a hotspot or data limit needs this.
