Ya no la necesito y decidí eliminarla, pero no puedo, el CCleaner me dice que está protegida por el navegador pero al buscar entre las extensiones no existe ninguna carpeta ni directorio y la extensión como tal no aparece.

Hi :) please add this format: 10.03.22, 9:36 morgens - Person 1: Hi :) 10.03.22, 11:02 abends - Person 2: hello thank you :)

It requires you to upload a file to an external app. This is a security risk as my chats can be used for harmful things. Why don't you publish the app in github so we. can self-host it. Greedy people.
