User reviews

Don't like how it adds a third party app in the context menu without you knowing and can't use anyway. Uninstalled.

Works well, albeit I've added the VirusTotal API key as per instructions. Leo - saw your point re downloading using extension source. If so have you considered just open sourcing your extension on Github? Then we could contribute with PR requests (for example) allowing users to toggle the bottom bar when it competes with site actions.
