Adi Goldstein (ID: 000000b0c9a46731) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/20/2023 I tried using this Chrome extension, but the UI design is simply dreadful. It's clunky, confusing, and frankly, an eyesore. It's hard to figure out what's going on, and I had trouble finding the features I needed. The previous design was much better, and I wish they would bring it back. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this extension!

Eugene K (ID: 000000c0d948c395) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/20/2023 Used to love visiting ProductHunt website daily over the years, but then they have updated the UI and it completely ruined it for me. I switched to this extension two years ago since it was closest alternative to the original ProductHunt's look&feel and was 100% happy with it. Used it everyday and loved it. Until today you've added a sidebar with complete nonsense like a clock and weather block..??? followed with a dumb day-streak calculator and also broken product grid AGAIN! Omg, why are you guys doing it everytime, don't break things that work!
