As others have mentioned, the tool is useless. All the websites I tried resulted in 'no tools' used, which is patently rubbish.

once upon a time, it was one click, fast, worked for all sites & walked the talk. But that's history. These days, from last few weeks, infact months, it is selective in producing data even after signing in. May be there's some new tech, that sites use to block such extensions.
