I use it since a long time and it rarely disappointed me. Credits to the dev.

👎🏼ZERO STARS!👎🏼 👿 So this extension is actually DEACTIVATED, as they are replacing it with a $15/month...something...that they barely explain, called Webscape. A totally new way to do the web! So when you try to sign up to activate it... its just a funnel to get your name on their release list. Pretty scammy if you ask me, or at least amateur. And the onboarding questionairre doesnt actually say what it is that they want to sell you! Its not ethical to leave this up in the store. I dont usually review, and am not involved in the IT industry, nor code, just... this was really bait and switch.

Too expensive for the feature available in google. and most importantly, the privacy and security policy has issues that need revision.
