The addon works, and seems simple and easy to use. However, the required permissions are WAY to broad, and it's just adware to say the least. Its source code is packed/obfuscated. Avoid at all costs.

Illegal tracking links were detected by the company's IT security check firewall. After disabling this extension, the firewall did not report it again.
