User reviews

Like others here, it used to work great but now has major issues and dev has not fixed them. So it appears to be a dead plugin. Ah oh well it was awesome when it was working. Just like the other reviewer, I should go back to Opera :)

Quite glitchy. For example, on the Russian news site meduza.io if I open any article, then go back, then open another article - it sends me right to the Chrome's start page.

Agree with other review extension is glitchy so that any click causes forward or back navigation. Probably abandoned. Chrome is awful. Back to Opera I go.
