Nada Null (ID: 000000575954285b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/04/2021 Doesn't work, will just charge you $1 for their "free" trial and then provide no key. Also REALLY suspicious that it reloads all tabs when installed, never had an extension do that without asking me before. STAY AWAY. You might be able to download wistia videos if you are handy with the "inspect element" option and google.

John Pelot (ID: 0000000eccf04775) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/17/2020 Stupid. Downloaded to try for 7 days and got no license number to plugin so I couldn't even use it. If you want to sell hamburgers, you'd better have some ground beef.
