User reviews

Works sometimes, other times not, For example this is not working https://www.lacoste.com

Used to work, now it doesn't. Skimlinks support asked me if I'd tried the Chrome extension in another browser as a fix, which is not only nonsensical but also unhelpful.

It's great to quickly create affiliate links on the go, and I love that you can now add custom parameters for attribution
