| 2024-08-12 |  | | en | This app was excellent until August 2024 when google decided it is TOO good and therefore is removing it's functionality. Link Control made it so simple to customize website interaction. Google sucks. |

| 2024-02-09 |  | | en | This extension used to work, but now it appears to have stopped. For example, a new tab now opens when clicking a different google account to switch to it on a google app page, despite link control global or site settings set to open in same tab. Back to the original drag to url bar method 🤦🏻♂️ |
