User reviews

As of version 0.7.3 THIS EXTENSION WILL ATTEMPT TO STEAL YOUR FACEBOOK AD ACCOUNT DETAILS ON INSTALL, INCLUDING YOUR API TOKEN (they may be able to spend your money if you have saved payment information). Stay away. If you weren't logged into Facebook when you installed this extension, you're probably fine. If you were logged in but have never paid Facebook to run ads, you might be OK.

Demands "Read and Change all your data on all websites" Good joke!
