FurriousFox (ID: 00000026a5f21d9a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/17/2021 Works, but if you get 1Gbps or higher, it thinks it's still Mbps and then it shows something like 0.13 MB/s when having 1.0 Gbps

SIDHARTH SARKAR (ID: 000000de56f7a69f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/02/2021 This Ext. Doesnt Do Anything...

Aiswarya ManojKumar (ID: 000000fa6584832b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/26/2020 It basically does nothing.

Joel Evans (ID: 000000ae7674a56e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/13/2020 the concept is good for non tech savvy people, but who's going to check their internet speed if they arent educated on technology? (if that makes any sense.) most techies use speed testers on a basis and you develop an understanding of megabits by experience. so the extension is kind of pointless.
