Joe Celentano (ID: 00000051005b01df) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/14/2020 This has been Google Contacts opener for as long as I can remember. Now all of a sudden it says it is an audio recorder for gmail? I deleted it because it asked for new permissions and I didn't ever remember adding an audio recorder extension, then could not figure out why my contacts opener was missing. The developer has definitely messed up here somehow.

Ernesto Puig (ID: 000000f02cf6db56) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/08/2020 This app used to be a chrome extension that opened a seperate window just for google contacts. Now the name has changed to an audio recording service (with no notification) and it just opens a new tab in the browser which I could do with a bookmark.
