Daniel Berrios (ID: 000000d091064ac8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/15/2022 Google Chrome se vuelve loco al instalar esta extensión. Abre cientos de pestañas acelerando el procesador (en mi caso). Tuve que entrar a las carpetas de instalación de Chrome para desinstalar la extensión manteniendo Chrome cerrado. No la recomiendo.
