Matthieu Remy (ID: 000000421d5293de) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/02/2023 Does what it says it does. Customization of timing would be nice. But again, does what it says it does and does it well.

Austin Snyder (ID: 00000044c5ea9fa9) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/13/2022 Didn't work on Mac, did work on windows. There is no way to toggle the behavior on or off so if its installed you have to go into manage extensions and disable it manually to turn it off. Needs a simple click toggle on the extension itself. Also there is no way to change the frequency.
