Charles Molony (ID: 0000004accca590f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/08/2019 I just CANNOT stop opening tabs with this elegant extension. I assume whoever created this is rewarded generously with some nice double T and a trip to the dougy. All i can say is watchout Mozilla Firefox, Sam Potter is here to stay...
