User reviews
didn't work for me. I tried to download an emoji and it just showed me the page link
It used to work and was very useful. But now I always get "Failed - Blocked" when trying to drag a file link to my desktop.
Works as advertised! However, it doesn't work for VSCode windows. Anyway, even working with explorer has made my work a lot easier.
