Wish I could give it 0. Doesn't work.

Wayne Pegram, 2024-06-23

It works, but it is FAR from intuitive to get this to work. Other reviews are correct in that for most, this extension will just sit and do nothing. It wasn't until I fiddled for fifteen minutes with my Chromebook settings that I got it working. Poor design, poor documentation, poor support.
