Samuel Awachie (ID: 000000f300a290ce) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/05/2022 Why does it now highjack the "download a webpage" function on chrome? What does that have to do with a preview? I'm now having to disable it to download webpages. That's really messed up. Is this how the extension is meant to function?
