Mumbling Mayhem (ID: 000000a0df3d5a6c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/24/2023 I love this, it makes switching account on IJ much easier. HOWEVER, it could be better. It needs a way to add a way to put in 'headings' and then can add each account to whichever account it goes to in order to organize and easily find which account you need.

Sarah Ann (ID: 0000007b9856cf5c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/01/2023 Seems to be working again, which is awesome.

Tess (ID: 0000007c25fd06b3) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/04/2022 Was amazing for years, but has stopped working. The page reloads but the app hasn't logged me into the selected account. Real shame.

Roz (ID: 000000a0910d0ccf) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/08/2020 No longer works, at least for Dreamwidth. Developer seems AWOL.

Sallie Drazzi (ID: 000000de908a8a92) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/17/2020 It WAS a great extension, but people moving from journal sites mean its very old now, and it seems to just NOT want to work any more. I have the list of accounts, but it will just not change to any of them. RIP LJ Juggler.
