Privacy: Why share Browsing history is now required ? I'm not against it if there is a good reason ? And I've search some explanation without success.
I have been using this extension for years now and it adds some much needed features for dealing with emails and for anyone who does most of their business by email, it is almost a must have in order to keep on top of everything and avoid forgetting to follow up emails or chase people for responses.
If more people used something like this, then perhaps I wouldn't be spending so much time constantly chasing people for responses.
Sadly this great product is let down by poor support. Ironically the AIB team do not seem to use their own product, as getting responses to emails is like getting a photo of a unicorn.
Support is a painful and time consuming process requiring endless chasing of emails, usually over several months and being constantly told "we will get back to you", which of course never happens.
I have even had some support issues which have dragged on for years and I eventually just had to give up on them ever being resolved.
If it wasn't for the rubbish support, I would be giving 5 starts.
After using this awesome extension for years, I am very disappointed that it just won't work with the primary account anymore, and it no longer works in Firefox at all. I contacted support and they were supremely unhelpful.
