Ken (ID: 000000fc6e780da7) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/02/2015 Does not support newer CCU auth, only deprecated username/pwd auth.

Jefe Blaize (ID: 000000688f6b6bf0) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/06/2015 Does not allow modification of the URL in the address bar before submitting for purge for some inexplicable reason. This means purging redirects or initial, slightly different page URLs (before pushState for example) can't happen with this extension.
