2024-03-05	Doan Vu	en	Great extension! Help me learn a lot about making browser extensions. Big thanks!
2024-02-16	Greg E	en	Awesome extension that works well with Brave. To use this effectively, what I had to do: - Go to Settings -> Extensions - Find Chrome Extension source viewer and click Details - Enable "Pin to toolbar" Now when you go to an extension page, you can click the yellow "CRX" icon to view or download the extension. It's already saved me from at least 2 sketchy extensions that were trying to do WAY more than they should.

2024-01-22	Gea-Suan Lin	en	It works perfectly to allow users reviewing through source code before installation.
2023-12-22	Garbouw Deark	en	Only stopped working briefly because Chrome Web Store changed some stuff. The devs were quick on the mark and got it running again. It's a good tool for a number of reasons, but I like to use it to make modifications to existing extensions for personal use, as well as learn from those extensions so I can properly make my own.
