| 2022-03-27 |  | | It appears they have recently put a crypto miner into this extension.. Whenever I have the currently tabopen, my CPU goes to 100% usage and the minute I go to another tab it goes down again. This is disgusting. | |
| 2021-11-28 |  | | love it, but little heavy 29mb | |
| 2021-09-26 |  | | New Update VERY BAD AND UGLY!!! EDIT: NEW DEVELOPER. DO NOT TRUST. HIJACKS SEARCH ENGINE. SPAMWARE | |
| 2021-06-20 |  | | I used this extension for YEARS. At least since 2012. This update sucks. I tried to make it work but Yahoo is the worst and I miss the full forecast. | |
| 2021-06-02 |  | | I loved this extension and didn't even mind the recent changes to layout or the optional pay version. However, hijacking my search bar is just unacceptable. I gave it a month to see if I got used to the change in workflow, but it has proven to be too disruptive. RIP Currently. | |
| 2021-05-26 |  | | I miss the old extension, have used it for years. As others have done, also purchased themes to support the developers. Even attempted to reach out a few times, to explain why the weather wasn't working (shared Google API keys, services shutting down etc.) but no response. Now I have seen the new version, and its monthly/yearly subscription, and it feels money grabbing. Where is the loyalty for users who purchased themes in previous versions. Where did the simplistic design go. This new version feels like it was thrown together to get just a working version out the door, and try to earn some revenue from subscriptions. Would have loved to give it a 5 star review, but I can't due to the updates. | |
| 2021-05-06 |  | | Was great till it went commercial a few weeks back. They added a search bar you have to pay to remove. I'm choosing to just remove the whole thing. Keep looking for alternatives, there are plenty better out there. | |
| 2021-05-06 |  | | this extension will hijack your search bar when you hit a new tab. forces you to use yahoo search and the search is flagged as being a referral. I understand needing to make an income from your work but hijacking my search if I forget to manually click in the search bar every single time is absolutely unacceptable. At best the dev is receiving a small referral kickback, but at worst who knows what kind of tracking is being done without your knowledge. from the privacy policy: "DeviceInformation – This is information related to the device bywhich you access the Services, such asa hardware modeland operating systemversion. Log Information – This is information about your use of our Servicesand the Services Content you access, whichweautomatically collect and retain in our server logs, including: Your Internet protocoladdress (“IP Address”) Your browser type when using our Services, including the browser’s useragent (e.g., Chrome, Safari,and Internet Explorer) Deviceevent information such as hardwaresettings, browser language, systemactivity,crashes,and the dateand time of your requestand referralURL Diagnosticinformation about otherextensions you have on your device, including alisting ofthoseextensions you have prior to adding Currently and thoseextensions you add to your deviceafteraddingCurrently Your geographiclocation (lat./long.) The Domain name of your Internetservice provider Trafficacquisition sourceand date ofacquisition Timeand date ofcertain browserevents" Already this is contradicts the information stated it collects on the privacy summary. continuing further: "We use your information to provide our Services, including personalizing and improving such Serviceinformation to better understand howyou utilizeand interact with our Services. Specifically, we use your information to: ... Assist third parties, such asadvertisersand publishers, to connect with you to promoteadvertising in theirappsand websites. Generateanalyticsand reports for our business purposes, which reports may aggregate oranonymizeinformation." So here they admit to providing your information to third parties such as advertisers. "Section 5. Cookies andTracking Technologies When you use our Services, we may send yourcomputer or mobile deviceacookiethat uniquely identifies your browser. " here they admit to tracking you. "Section 6. Data Protection The protection of your PersonalInformation is of greatconcern to us. Exceptas otherwise provided for in these Privacy Practices, werestrict access to your PersonalInformation to ouremployees,contractors,affiliates, service providers,and agents. " they say they restrict access to your information except when they provide it to at least 5 different categories of people who are not disclosed. "Section 7. ThirdParty Practices In connectionwith the provision of our Services, youmay berequested or required by our service providers to provideinformation, including PersonalInformation, to themor to download certain software. Weassume no responsibility for the privacy practices of our service providers, includingThird Party Service providers, or thecontents ofany software downloaded fromthem" this section suggests they may download third party software to your browser, again they do not disclose these third parties. In total, in the privacy policy, there are at least 28 references to tracking, monitoring usage, or advertising. Doesnt sound exactly private to me. | |
| 2021-04-13 |  | | Used to like it but the recent updates with the search bar ruined it. Uninstalled it, and installed "Momentum" instead. | |
| 2021-04-06 |  | | Used to be an awesome simplistic splash screen for your empty browser window. Used it for years. Now it begs you to subscribe to their premium service and forces the cursor to the search engine that they have chosen. Uninstalling and looking for an alternative. |
