There are other extensions like this, why this one?
- I developed this because similar extensions are tracking your privacy or adding affiliate (marketing) links when you go to webshops. I don't like any of that, neither do you probably.
- I'm a web developer and wanted to learn about chrome extension development.
This will always remain free.
