User reviews

I both love and hate this extensions. Many things can go wrong with it, but it's the only one that does exactly what I want and can be refreshed without reloading the page. I can deal with not being able to change the default profile or it randomly changing certain expressions when you open the setup, but there is one issue that makes it nearly unusable: it will stop working randomly, does not refresh, does not show as active. I need to keep re-installing it to keep using it.
