User reviews

Move along, Nothing to see here. Suggest "Chrome Extension source viewer" ( id: jifpbeccnghkjeaalbbjmodiffmgedin ) for similar functionality. ______ Appears to be Abandoned. - Doesn't appear to do work. - Extension (and GitHub Project) last updated 2014. - Predates the Chrome Extensions v3 manifest. I'm surprised it can even be installed.

This does not work on all webstore items. It will sometimes fail to display anything. It makes a wrong http request and never gets back the correct redirect url, so it ends up with an empty response (204 status).
