If it had the ability to put the icons where you wanted instead of automatically moving around I'd give it 4 stars..

Me funciona casi todo bien. Lo unico que no me funciona es la opción de IMPORTAR / EXPORTAR los marcadores 😭😭😭 . Y por esta razón los tengo que agregar 1 POR 1 cada ves que formateo la laptop y vuelvo a instalar CHROME y la extensión. Pero lo hago sin mucho problema, porque me gusta mucho esta extensión la verdad. Es una pena que la hayan abandonado 😕😕😕
