Chris Hamm (ID: 00000065321c6187) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/09/2014 Like everything vsbuffalo does, he reached out like the god of the Sistine chapel and touched Chrome. Not in a creepy way, in a god-like way, like the Michelangelo. Anyway, he reached down with his "computer skills" infused hand and made Chrome better (he should work on fixing the memory leaks in Chrome next!). He has the computational Midas touch. Midas the ancient king and not Midas the auto-repair shop. Though I suspect the auto-repair shop is probably the better simile. Either Midas, vsbuffalo rocked this extension. You go vsbuffalo!
