今日いきなり使えなくなりました。 2024年8月22日　久しぶりにChromeに入れてみたら、又使えました。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　アンケートサイトは使えたけど、使えないサイトもあり中途半端な感じがします。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　使いやすかったのに…。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 2024-08-29　いきなり使えました。何だったんだろう？というか、これからもサポートしてほしい拡張の一つです。

Has worked great in the past, but recently has stopped working and requires it to be uninstalled and then reinstalled every couple of days. Hoping this review can prompt developers to take a look at it because I use it daily.

Doesn't work. It would be helpful if the instructions state what's the difference between whitelist and blacklist. Not everyone, in fact, few understand. Also, it should flash or let you know the selected link (should) be opened in the same tab, but it's not. Tested on YouTube with blacklist enabled and disabled. Uninstalled.
