Paul Nedas (ID: 0000007f45c286a4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/12/2023 Great concept but despite numerous attempts the extension fails to work on my Mac Mini. it keeps asking me my consent to allow the extension to publish on Slack when I want to share a link, confirms that the link is authorised - that is mmy experience to date
