Seamless but keeps saying i am not yet transmitting data
by Dropshipping Masters, 2025-03-23

Geht nicht nur nicht unter Chrome, geht auch nicht unter Edge. Gut gedacht, nicht gut auf den verschiedenen Programmen getestet. Mangelhaft. Braucht man/frau somit nicht.

Installed easily, but YouGov keeps saying I'm not transmitting data. So I am at a loss, I just keep going around in circles and therefore I've had to give up. Pretty useless. And no contact for support.
