User reviews


It used to work really well like 3 months ago but it has not worked at all since then. When it does work its good but it will spam you with a popup telling you to buy it which is really annoying and makes me not want to buy it even more ESPECIALLY when it's not even working most of the time. I cannot recommend this extension at all in it's current state and with no updates or anything in the past 7 months I think it's safe to say this extension is dead.

It stopped working a few weeks or maybe a month ago and hasn't been updated. Just not skipping ads anymore. I tried uninstall and reinstalling it, but that didn't help
