Xander W (ID: 000000e553ef81e6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/13/2023 I use this every. single. day. And, having just changed my main computer to a new one, I am SO glad it is now using a Cloud save so I don't have to re-enter everything. Yay! Only change I'd request is petty - put the "Open in tabs" button up in the upper right (nearer to where the extension's button is). Edit: AND to allow the option to *edit* entries. I have to re-enter them, move them, delete the original, etc. I don't know where the Cloud Save option went from my original review but it's now gone.
