Ben Slivka (ID: 0000008236a62ee8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/14/2023 The Set As Profile command doesn't work! It is wonderful to be able to change the font/size/spacing, but I have to manually select those EVERY TIME I visit a new web page. Why have the Profile features if they don't work? I'm running latest Chrome on Windows 11 latest public update. And I wrote my first software 47 years ago (e.g., this is not user error).

Ernesto Sazo (ID: 0000009271209479) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/23/2023 Just like everyone was saying it doesn't work, I will say that as if they just made it to jget your info. And to go further I don't even remember installing the damn thing so how did it get on my browser??? Whats up with that? Just happen to check my extentions and this one I have no idea where it came from.
