User reviews

Although I used to use this add-on for a very long time I am disappointed to find it is now offering a "service" to ChatGPT without informing me about changed terms of services or similar. I'm unsure whether this is even allowed under the current license. Find the new repo at https://github.com/OpenLinkSoftware/OSDS_extension
