est ce qu'on pourrait avoir une documentation , je ne comprends pas comment elle fonctionne même en cliquant sur l'icône , est ce que l'extension fonctionne avec la dernière version de chrome ?
I love this extension. I am really sad to learn it will be removed from chrome 😢
This is my one of my favorite extensions, but recently I saw it on the list of future unsupported apps. Hope that this can be resolved.
