Borja Rodrigo (ID: 0000003c96d9393e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/27/2021 Antes de tener esta extensión estaba gordo, deprimido, era antisocial y no quería saber nada de mis amigos. Un mes después de instalarla sigo igual, viviendo en este pozo sin fondo de oscura y lúgubre amargura existencial, pero ahora al menos me lo paso bomba poniendo gifs en las MR cómodamente. 10/10
