Steve Anderson (ID: 0000003a3e9c3a8c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/12/2021 Absolute garbage! If you want nothing except for pretty images and error messages, this will perform well for you. The extension only leads to spam sites. Peacock does NOT perform. The extension is a flat-out lie. Complete waste of time and space. I'm very disappointed in the Chrome web store for not investigating it a bit before allowing it. Now I not to trust them, either
