a konduri (arjun) (ID: 000000c1ccb1ef0f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/20/2019 This extension is so simple and straight forward that even a kid could just use this without any kind of learning curve. Just click the share button/icon, then click on one of the platforms on which you want to share the present web page, and thats it. Job done.
