ottima estensione utilissima non capisco cosa Google stia facendo con molte estensioni dove compare la voce "A breve questa estensione potrebbe non essere più supportata perché non segue le best practice per le estensioni di Chrome." Google parla di privacy ... senti chi parla! Speriamo questa estensione non sparisca e che si adegui alla NOSTRA SICUREZZA.


Does not work.
