Doesn't work

Alex, 2023-03-20Extension is broken on Chrome (and Edge) 87, and doesn't seem to be maintained anymore.
It appears that this extension was developed as part of someone's graduate school project and is no longer being actively maintained. Most of the "nudge" features are broken in the latest versions of Chrome which makes the extension mostly useless. Many issues have been opened through their recommended bug reporting process on Github but no one seems to be monitoring them anymore.
