КРЕМЕНЬ (ID: 00000077d0504c44) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/28/2022 Я делал все по инструкции, но расширение не работает. В итоге должно вылезти окно как последний пункт, но нет, нечего не происходит!

Safiullah Kakar (ID: 000000f5b483d0ea) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/01/2021 As a developer, I can understand how challenging it is to make an extension to work for all devices. So I'm giving it 5 stars no matter what, even if it's buggy, you will finally fix it. Thank you for such an idea.
