User reviews

Amazing extension in era of annoying chat bots popping up on almost half of the websites.

I just noticed Google is saying this extension may soon be removed because it doesn't follow best practices or some such thing? That would be such a shame! If someone is still working on this, it would be awesome if you updated it so it will continue to work. This is an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME extension. It does exactly what it says, and DAMN it is a major quality of life enhancement, sites I frequently use have those dumb chat bots that pop up every time I use them (and I use them multiple times daily for work), this just gets rid of that extreme annoyance. I definitely recommend this!
