Lisa Søndergaard (ID: 000000c1cfb69c9e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/21/2023 The idea is awesome, but unfortunately I just get the error: Error in event handler: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'dataBack') at chrome-extension://kckjjmiilgndeaohcljonedmledlnkij/popup.js:6:28.

Ruslan (ID: 000000f52c9d1ef3) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/20/2022 It works ok with Open Graph, but has a problem with Twitter meta tags. I can see that a host in og:image URL gets replaced properly whereas twitter:image stays untouched.

Chris Seckler (ID: 000000e2af472f23) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/27/2022 Looks like a great idea but I get an error: Access to fetch at 'https://xxxxxxx.com/images/home/en/open-graph-default.png' from origin 'https://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
