User reviews

Downloaded it, installed it, it doesn't appear in my top toolbar as an extension.

Добрый день, раньше расширение работало без нареканий, сейчас не заходит, не открывается расширение, с чем это может быть связано?

Елена Викторова, 2025-01-17

♦It's all good, but if you save it again even if it fails, it's saved as [rescued video], but there are cases where this doesn't work either, so please improve it to save it.
