VIA should justify requesting "Read your browser history" permissions and add a privacy policy, or it drop the requirement. Installing this app provides access that could easily leak sensitive corporate and personal info. I would avoid it until VIA justifies the need.

Currently, the extension doesn't work for me. I also had problems with it in the past. My only option is to use the VIA app in Windows. But, all my software, docs, and slides are in Linux. Until they get it working, possibly working together with the tech department, the extension is complete garbage.

Such a big improvement over the old VIA extension! So far it has worked smoothly on all of my computers and Chromebooks. I'll update if I see any issues with it in the future...
