User reviews

As a Snowplow co-founder I was a bit old school - bring up Developer tools and eyeball the Network requests tab directly. Hello tp2! But I was hugely missing out - the Snowplow Inspector is *excellent*, and once you start using it you can't go back. Big thanks to the Snowplow Australia team (formerly Poplin) for creating this!

Why does it need access to passwords, browsing history, geolocation, etc.? Great functionality but be careful with this one.
