Alan Davison (ID: 000000ed957f0c9b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/01/2016 This extension is absolutely amazing, and I love it to bits. In fact, I lost it during a recent install and went to the effort of installing cygwin to cat and grep my way through my old backed up Chrome extensions directory to try to find it. I found it, and now I'm not losing it again!
