Jenn Foreacre (ID: 00000016887514fb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/30/2022 This extension did exactly what I wanted it to do: lock my keyboard while YouTube videos are playing for my kittens (yes, actual kittens). Thank you!

Kasey Ng (ID: 000000ec8b333c0e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/27/2022 The very first time I downloaded it, it worked GREAT. Several months later (now) I tried using it again and it didn't work at all. I tried removing it and adding it again, and it still didn't work, even though it said "Keyboard is locked". What's going on? Why did it stop working for me? I really liked it when it did work.
