Aritra Roy (ID: 0000005af1efbe7a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/11/2021 Insane!!! Loved the idea and the result. No hassle in finding good journals with high alt metric scores by going to every single webpages and with hundreds of opening tabs in Chrome😍. Thank you for this awesome extension. One suggestion, Browser compatibility: Firefox, Brave are two most common browsers nowadays due to their more secure browsing. I don't think neglecting those will be a great idea. Anyway, hope this remains open-source in future also. GOOD LUCK!!!
