PNW Techie (ID: 000000845238f1cd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/06/2023 I used to love this but as of today Mar 6 2023 it no longer works on chrome. I blame Twitter {"errors":{"message":"Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint, please see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api for more information","code":467}}

Jessica Brogley (ID: 0000005452aff4d4) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/22/2022 It works, but I sure wish there was a way to shorten the URL

Jess Mars (ID: 000000967db18560) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/29/2020 At first I thought this extension was broken because everything I wanted to share kept getting an error. Turns out it's from the oppression of big tech on our right to free speech. Censoring political articles is dangerous, why do they think they are the thought police?! Good plugin though.

株本毅(パチパチキン) (ID: 00000002854b7710) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/24/2020 It's looks good! However, I personally want to include the page title in addition to the selected text, so if the operation can be selected ☆5. 但し個人的には選択したテキストに加えてページタイトルも含めたいので、動作を選択可能になれば☆5。
