Recent reviews
Definitely way better than that AI spyware, but not quite up to the level of the old extension.
It would be nice to have the ability to temporarily disable the functionality through the extension icon, since it could be handy to turn it off for 5 or 15 minutes when I needed to open a bunch of tabs. The old extension had that before it went to the dark side.
I'm giving this 5 stars to help promote it in search results, but with the missing functionality, it's really more of a 4-star for me. FAR better than nothing (and even nothing is WAY better than that AI spyware), but not quite up to what we used to have.
