John Weiss (ID: 000000627bc3b61f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/22/2024 This browser deserves the "Best Extension" award. It's amazing, so powerful and convenient. Ability to create custom searches is great. One of the best extensions in the browser universe! I use it constantly. Very powerful. Problem: There's another Truffle Piggy extension. That was confusing. Only one or the other extension is needed. This one has smaller memory footprint.

Lucian Andries (ID: 0000007386e7bb7c) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/13/2022 It's an ok extension. You have a lot of pre-made stuff for you and it's very easy to use. But if you want to make your own, or really want to customize everything how you like it, good luck.......... The editor is very...lacking. Saying it's mediocre would imply that it has all the basic stuff at least. Well, it doesn't. Which makes me sad to give it 3 stars. I don't hate it, but it's not that useful for me. Maybe in the future, after a few quality-life updates...
