User reviews

This extension stopped being supported because it "doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." I've come to depends on this for my workflow and I'm seriously considering switching browsers due to this. :( Developer, if you're still around, could you please work satisfying Google's needs (as long as they're not unreasonable) and make this function properly again? I'd be willing to throw a few bucks your way, it's definitely worth that much for me! I'm giving you 5 stars even though it doesn't work anymore since it's a great extension and it's not your fault that it stopped working. :/ Thanks!
