User reviews

Users appreciate the extension for its simplicity and effective function of sending webpage URLs via email with clickable links, especially with Gmail and certain default mail clients. However, many report issues with compatibility following updates, particularly with default mail clients like Thunderbird and Outlook. Common complaints include lack of customization (e.g., default recipient), opening unnecessary new tabs, and difficulty contacting support. While reliable on some setups, the extension has mixed performance across different environments.

Es ist zum Mäuse melken, dass diese Erweiterung nicht mehr erlaubt ist. Langsam machen die Experten alles kaputt.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
