Luke Aengenheyster (ID: 000000910aec8548) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/08/2022 good extension, but it should use quaternions for 3d rotation and have comic sans as its main font. Also you should add some malware for fun

Minecraft Kahoot (ID: 0000004f8709237b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/25/2022 Its a banana on the cool scale. Very nice and clean extension. Would like the ability to remove the time display, otherwise a perfect extension.

Jonathan Yip (ID: 000000b3acb1b56c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/16/2022 This extension allows you to have several shortcuts on your browser page. It a great way to make your browser look nice with the option to use a picture of your choice as the background. It doesn't require any of your personal data and the settings are very self explanatory, making it easy to use. Flowtab is amazing, considering it has only received one update.

Graham Roberts (ID: 000000197d38c334) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/03/2021 I have to say, as a friend of the developer, they have done a wonderful job on this extension. The ability to improve and simplify the look of the home screen is really nice, as well as the shortcuts. For those who want their Chrome browser to look better, without installing a different one, this is for you! Plus, I know for sure that this product is likely to be improved over time, with more features such as a custom theme system that is currently in Beta. Cant recommend this enough!
