Dale Cmaylo (ID: 000000bafc0fe32a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/23/2022 Lightweight and does exactly what a utility extension should. Great work!

Ven0m0 (ID: 000000ecf5ca7182) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/01/2021 The extension is very good and makes nextdns a lot easier to use. My one problem however is that when I try to import a configuration it freezes and doesnt fully import everything. When i manually reload only some things are imported.

K Mason Schecter (ID: 00000042d9a47194) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/28/2021 Outstanding enhancement to NextDNS - the allow/deny buttons alone justify using this extension. It's a shame it's not available for iOS too! Thanks for making this!
