J Bruce Feynman Niccolo P. “Nic” Bentulan (ID: 00000013bb618255) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/27/2021 Edit: works like a charm now. 5/5 initially but now with new stackexchange update it seems there's no more follow option...?

Gustavo Pantaleão (ID: 000000d052130c81) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/19/2018 There's no "Follow" option in the "Profile" tab at the Stackoverflow user's page. It's a trick, change for the "Activity" tab.

Gael Hofemeier (ID: 00000022f63be543) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/22/2018 I just found this and was thrilled that I could follow users. And then that feature broke. It would be nice if you did have to log in so it could save your information so that if you wanted to try re-installing it to see if the follow problem was fixed, your data would still be there.

Tom (ID: 000000a1a73e614a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/02/2017 Very useful until you switch to a new computer - no way to move the data. Would be ideal if it would sync data between my chrome installs, but even export/import would help.

Peter Carter (ID: 0000008608315b33) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2017 Only problem was one of the buttons wasn't aligning right, which annoyed me. However, this will be fixed in the next update, so all good there. Really useful extension. Recommended.
