en This extension has been a game changer for me. In fact, I'm considering looking for it on GitHub (if it's there; if not, I'll package it) to add a couple of features that would make it even more perfect. Feature 1: Site-Specific Filters I’m becoming increasingly conscious of the many extensions I have installed and the potential for malicious or intrusive code. A filter that disables the extension on specific sites, like banking websites, would address these concerns. This feature could also improve performance, which, while not an issue on my desktop, could benefit my laptop. Feature 2: Extension-Specific Activation Using the same filter concept, I’d like the ability to select which extensions run only on the sites that need them. This would prevent extensions from interfering with each other and improve performance and security. I understand that the API presents some challenges in implementing these features, as it only allows an inconvenient subset of extensions to be turned on or off automatically. However, I believe that with determination, it can be done. I also considered adding scheduling capabilities, though I can't recall the specific use case for this feature at the moment.

en This used to work great, but now often I'll disable extensions and try to turn them back on, but they won't, requiring manual re-enabling on the Manage Extensions tab.

en Recently extension seems to have become malicious. Page redirects when searching. Uninstalling or disabling extension resolved the issue. Coincidence?

en Something changed recently. It disables Javascript setting and has it set to "allow" and it's greyed out and can't be changed. Message in Chrome said Java enabled by extension. As a result, I had to disable this extension. Too bad, it was great while it lasted.

en Used this for years, & it even worked well on Opera GX. As of a few says ago I started getting 404 Google redirects when searching, & disabling this extension made it stop.

en Excellent tech tool. Great little extension, solved and revealed my slow machine problem as soon as I clicked it. You need a brighter and color the icon for the extension.

en Used to work like a charm - but lately it seems to have trouble turning extensions back on; I need to do that manually every time.

Great - could do with a timer - I keep forgetting to turn them back on afterwards.
