Kristen Moore (ID: 0000004c1fd71a10) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/06/2023 Very useful when it works. I have to reload this extension constantly. Something makes it crash and all features are disabled until it is reloaded. Some days that happens just a few times, other days it goes through multiple waves where it crashes 5 times in a span of a just a few minutes. It's aggravating, but in the end it is still a useful tool.
