Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/26/2021 Poorly described. I believe that this is meant as a character limiter for Facebook.. not a character counter in the generally understood form.

John G (ID: 00000050d1ff6372) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/26/2018 Was simply unable to get the extension to work on multiple sites, including Instagram and a program for work requiring max character counts. The search continues...
