kyle sickels (ID: 000000cc401d4127) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/20/2014 Certainly a useful tool, but one of the permissions that is required does not appear to be necessary. The permission "access tabs and browsing activity" could possibly be for phishing... If this was removed, it would be a easy 5 stars Yea!!!
