Saul Fautley (ID: 000000febffb0702) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/09/2022 Super useful extension. Nice options compared to others. Extra points for NOT including a context menu item for links, since Chrome already has this built in!

ZoomStop (ID: 0000007da854c0ca) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/02/2022 Does what it says and gives you some options to configure how it works. This alone makes it better than all the other Incognito Here type extensions on here.
