Recent reviews

Don't install this spamware. Many extensions open some kind of changelog when they've updated. This absolute garbage instead opens a tab with some other product to advertise to you. In my case, it just opened Chrome Webstore to an extension called 'Magnum: Sidebar with Gmail and Google Calendar'. Edit: I just uninstalled the extension and, again, it opened the same extension in Chrome Webstore.
