User reviews

Doesn't work, not sure why but no amount of tinkering in the settings does anything and there are no error messages.

Mandie, 2025-01-22

it won't even filter messages for me anymore, my old filter settings don't even catch mod or channel owner messages ://

Alfa Hatdog, 2024-09-14

The new version at first wouldn't except my previous filters. Eventually it worked, but the extension refuses to save chats indiscriminately. Now it doesn't work full stop; I can't access the settings or my filters.
