User reviews

I had been using a different extension, but it eventually tried forcing me to pay money. This extension is basically perfect in comparison. No problems and I would donate money to the developer.

I use Opera GX as my browser, and I've never had issues with this extension. It's nice, simple, and of course, works like a charm.

It's very good but better if it can keep the original filename instead of "image.png"
