Erica Brooks (ID: 0000003e844d9e77) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/01/2024 I love using the Giphy extension to easily add animated GIFs to my messages. Unfortunately as of today (8/1/24), it stopped working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension multiple times. I restarted Chrome, restarted my Mac, and updated Chrome. None of that helped fix the issue. Hoping that an update gets rolled out.

Greg Bryant (ID: 000000869508e630) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/08/2023 New version requires permission to block content on any page? No reason given, uninstalled. If you want to block what I'm seeing, you need to tell me why.

Steve Prud'homme (ID: 000000bea2b11696) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/09/2022 Hi this use to work fine but now the icon seems to clash with other icons on the toolbar meaning I cant select it

Chema Hernandez (ID: 000000a456512210) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/04/2022 Nice and clean, but it would be perfect if it had a 'favorites' tab to store our most used gifs...
