Dave McKay (ID: 000000e0a5827e79) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/11/2019 I previously gave this extension a great review and 5 stars. However, today it has started looking at my browsing history - a change that isn't noted in the version description. Please explain why this is and added it to the change log, then I'll add it back to Chrome. Removing for now.
