Dwight Brooks (ID: 000000f88d73e1f4) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/07/2019 No longer works. Depriecated according to Chrome Web Store. Replaced by developer tools which totally fail to work with my Galaxy Note 10. Looks like Google did it again... Took away a fantastic tool and replaced it by a non-working alternative..
