User reviews

I've been using this for several years now. It's one of only two extensions I run in my browser. It's by far my favorite MD5 hashing extension due to how simple it is. It most definitely DOES report the correct MD5 hash, it just defaults to hashing it "3" times instead of "1" time. This makes it seem confusing when you first launch it unless you recognize that the second box has a "3" in it instead of a "1" by default. However, once you update that value to a "1", it will stay a "1". If this were updated to default to a "1" when you first use it, I'd give it a 5 star. Honestly, the iterative hashing isn't even providing any value. I'm not sure when anyone would need to do that. But, I suppose there could be a use case for it. But it seems like an edge case scenario, and definitely doesn't seem like something that should be a default.
