User reviews

Perhaps if I had kept this installed for more than 30 seconds, I'd have gotten used to a weird permanent tab with a monster face on it. Please someone implement this functionality in a straightforward day.

Thank God, this saved my time to relogin on Chorme all the time....

Would be good if it was more customisable. At the moment it's truly the ugliest app in the Chrome Store. Works well enough if you can stand the ugliness though.
