User reviews
I wanted to share my experience with this extension. It worked perfectly fine before the latest update. Everything functioned smoothly and I had no issues whatsoever. However, since the most recent update, things have changed. The extension no longer performs as it used to, which is quite disappointing considering how reliable it was previously.
When trying to use it with Midjourney, I keep getting the "unexpected src" error message, which prevents me from using the features I relied on. I hope the developers can address these issues soon and restore the extension to its former quality.
N.B : I'm on firefox under ubuntu

Good. Works. Just wished there was an option to just have a default file type so I don't have to press a second time on a subcontext menu
