Grant M. (ID: 000000e9cb38d2c3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/07/2018 A true lifesaver. It removes all that is unnecessary and frustrating about Haiku. On rare occasions it may accidentally remove a Dropbox submission button as well, but that is a small price to pay. The time spent disabling and re-enabling the extension every once in a while is well made up for by the vast increase in efficiency, and that slight periodic annoyance is nothing compared to the daily irritation of dealing with the default Haiku. You have saved us! Kudos!
