Doesn't work with Google while Krypton did. The "Learn More" link in the extension description leads to a 404. Things don't look promising now that Akamai has taken this over.

Cannot pair with android if both are behind vpn, after pairing it all works over vpn but google account.

It works but on the site a free trial period is mentioned? So it only works for 60 days? This is a bit confusing...
