Monetization features have begun to creep in and thus enshittification is in full steam, including paid promotion overlays and locking previously free features behind a paywall - the extension also just started to require permissions for notifications, which are DEFINITELY NOT REQUIRED for the core functionality. Uninstalling right now.

Olavi Varis, 2025-03-20I'll eat a bag of big ones before I pay for a glorified CSS edit
Word to the wise, there are free and less bloated solutions that don't paywall things like scrolling lol
Edit: I appreciate the response, but your payment model is really silly. I'm hugely pro-donationware and not at all upset about the price. But the blunt truth is that you turned some of the free features into paid features requiring a login lol
There are other free options that are just as reliable, sorry.
You're right that one star was unfair, I have adjusted it to three as I did use it for months as a free user.
