User reviews

glanceback is one of my favorite pieces of software of all time. sometimes my coworkers think it's creepy but that is a cost i am willing to accept. i would also be even more happy if it was available on firefox

I've been using this extension for so long now but I'm trying to change the browser I use to opera gx, and it would be awesome if this extension could be optimized for it. Opera lets you download and use chrome extensions but it doesn't seem to activate right like with chrome. Regardless I've loved using it all this time!
