As of ~April 18th, this extension stops sites it "works" on (nytimes, washington post, etc) from letting you save data. AKA it breaks the sites completely, even if disabled. You need to remove it to fix those websites.

Works great.

This extension has taught me a lesson (hence, 2 stars instead of 1). We do pay for "free" stuff, even when we don't yet know how. The "cost" of this extension was revealed no later than March 2022, when a 3-star review mentioned that it was secretly adding Amazon affiliate tags. This was a real cost. For the last few years, I couldn't access Amazon coupons available to others. Aside from the app's creators, everyone would've been better off if I'd paid for the publications I used.
