está buena la extension, pero faltan arreglar cosas, como algunos bugs en los numeros de vistas, likes, etc, la falta de pfp en los usuarios, bugs en las texturas, etc. encima la ultima actualización fue hace mucho, 4 estrellas

Such an amazing extension but it seriously needs an update to fix the many small glitches and bugs that are becoming more and more common as time goes on. I would rate it 5 stars if it got more frequent updates.
