Why is it unavailable? I loved this extension :(
by Matheus Barbian, 2024-06-24

This used to be really useful but it hasn't been updated in 4 years. Very infrequent that it works as it should. In it's current state, I wouldn't recommend it.

It's good when you want to share via email, but nowadays I use facebook share extension to do it more often. So this extension has become less useful. I disabled this extension recently because it would clash with Amazon website. When viewing an item, I would select a size from the dropdown and the page would freeze.
