User reviews
Nothing was wrong with it, it just didn't do anything for me because internet is so fast these days, my pages all loaded before the extension could take effect. Maybe you could update it to wait a second or so before loading the page
Nos recuerda a los nostálgicos de Netscape cuando inició la www
Takes me back to the wild-west internet days of netscape navigator 2.0.1.
If I had any complaint, it's that we can't make the netscape icon bigger! C'mon, that's some swag.
