Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/01/2021 Only shows a few of my many apps. Anyone else notice that? That's too bad because it seemed adaptable and useful. Also interferes with one of my favorite session extensions.

Nissan Ahmed (ID: 0000000c132ebd43) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/03/2018 Recommended over any other similar extension. Every extension kept running in background using ~20 MB RAM all the time for this simple redirection, which makes no sense. This extension is open source and never run in the background. 👍
