LugiDergX (ID: 0000000b09184fe8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/25/2023 POLSKI/POLISH: Dziwię się że tak ciężko znaleźć jest rozszerzenie o tak podstawowej funkcjonalności jak to ale cieszę się że wreszcie udało mi się trafić na to jedno. Ciągłe wchodzenie w menu Chrome aby otworzyć osobną kartę aby odwiedzić stronę chrome://extensions lub zmieniać obecną stronę na której się jest na dłuższą metę męczące, nieprzyjemne i zabiera za dużo czasu. Ogromne podziękowania za stworzenie tego rozszerzenia - Mam szczerą nadzieję że pozostanie ono w Web Store jak najdłużej. ANGIELSKI/ENGLISH: I'm surprised it's so hard to find an extension with such basic functionality as this one, but I'm glad I finally came across this one. Constantly going into the Chrome menu to open a separate tab to visit chrome://extensions or changing the current page you are on is tiring, unpleasant and takes too much time in the long run. Huge thanks for creating this extension - I sincerely hope it stays in the Web Store for as long as possible.

Benedict Tan (ID: 00000087678b5b03) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/14/2023 This is a great, simple extension. Perhaps too simple 😄 The current app allows the user to turn off visibility for extensions that don't get toggled, however I would only say that It would be a better implementation if the user could easily group and order extensions to toggle in a single click. This would greatly enhance the usefulness of the app not just for browsing/privacy but also website compatibility/development when certain extensions are causing issues. It would become an amazing tool for the elimination process. I think with a slightly better UI for grouping, this could also become an invaluable tool for users to work out what are the best extensions since you'd be able to install a large number of them and test them systematically. Currently because toggling changes the order, this is not viable.

Tyler Meszaros (ID: 00000003f9891117) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/25/2023 Very rarely, do I find a creation such as this, that fixes a simple issue, in the easiest way, to improve it. This problem was like a dull-pain, bruise; just irritating enough. This person will probably grow up to be a mayor or governor. The type that doesn't say 10 things that they will fix and then succeed at only 2. This type of person is the type that points to one thing, like fixing potholes, and they just do a great job. Do 1 thing and make it a good one. Thank you for your ingenuity and generosity. :)
