Gleycon JEFERSON Silva Ferreira (ID: 0000009f8253a0f2) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/10/2023 As pessoas estão reclamando porque não entenderam o funcionamento da extensão. Só pode ser isso! Porque ela faz exatamente o que promete fazer. Pra quem é pesquisador, é uma excelente ferramenta. Parabéns. Só não ganha nota máxima porque não é feita pra qualquer um. Precisa de um conhecimento mínimo de informática. Por mais louco que isso pareça ser. Mas tem gente que não consegue achar o número da página no endereço.

Sam Willi (ID: 0000000162ab1253) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/12/2017 Its teribble, because really there is no purpose to this and if u wanted to open a new tab you would need the URL,so unless you have the url stuck in ur head there, is no use for this
