Dave Hogarty (ID: 000000c238eaafae) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/27/2015 BEYOND SHADY BEHAVIOR. IMO, this company has crossed the line into fraudulent behavior. Whatever you think of the extension, DO NOT PURCHASE THE PREMIUM VERSION. I made that mistake and have been unable to cancel the service. Nor will the company communicate in any way in response to my requests to cancel the service. If the developer is willing to grift their users for $, I don't want to think of whatever security vulnerabilities they're willing to inflict on those who install their extension.
