Chris Smith (ID: 00000060b7f808ea) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/15/2023 Like others here, it used to work great but now has major issues and dev has not fixed them. So it appears to be a dead plugin. Ah oh well it was awesome when it was working. Just like the other reviewer, I should go back to Opera :)

Михаил (ID: 00000042ad383b19) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/09/2021 Quite glitchy. For example, on the Russian news site meduza.io if I open any article, then go back, then open another article - it sends me right to the Chrome's start page.

Gregory Somers (ID: 000000149a7c3d58) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/02/2021 Agree with other review extension is glitchy so that any click causes forward or back navigation. Probably abandoned. Chrome is awful. Back to Opera I go.

D. Janz (ID: 000000764c8bd0b7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/13/2021 Genau das was es soll macht es. Nicht mehr, und vorallem nicht so ein Schnick Schnack drumherum wie bei den anderen Apps.

Stefan Teunissen (ID: 0000003b664ed59d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/26/2020 Literally does what it's supposed to do. As an ex Opera/Vivaldi user, this is absolutely great.
