PLEASE BRING THIS VALUABLE TOOL BACK! I need it so bad. I love it and it was working perfectly! Please update in Chrome Web Store!!!

This is the best tool for use reduce time consuming.

The concept of this chrome extension is incredible and possibly the solution to my biggest problem - if it worked as expected. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but when I right click and scroll done to "Scrape similar..." it doesnt give me any results that I can copy and the "Query" field is "a" no matter what I choose to scrape. I tried to look for a contact section where I can get in touch with someone from the team who may be able to provide me support, however, found none. Is there a support email available?
