2026-06-02	Ru*****	This is a pretty good extension. However, I have had issues where firefox loses all network connection if loading pages with a lot of media, or scrubbing youtube videos fast. I now, after at least a year tried disabling the malwarebytes extension and that fixed the issue i was having. Hopefully this is something you can solve in future updates.
