Wonderful extension! Tied together with my Albyhub and BAM I'M SENDING SATS in seconds. Much love 💜🫂🧡

Just signed up and got this message: "The shared wallet that you use is being deprecated in favor of the Alby Hub wallet. To continue sending and receiving payments setup your wallet by January 3, 2025." Apparently, there will be a monthly fee starting in January.
