For free forever full version, install this, then open gumtree, click 'manage my ads', press F12, open 'console' (tab at the top), click the 'top' dropdown menu, choose FreeTheTree2. Paste the following into the big white box and press enter: window.ftt2.checklk=()=>Promise.resolve(Object.assign(window.ftt2.l, {t:2,tt:"full"})); Do support the extension author if you can though!
