User reviews
I don't remember downloading this addon, but it popped up a notification on a site about the name change of this extension and mangled the webpage I was viewing. I lost some really important information I was trying to access because it forced me to refresh the page.
I lost about 30 minutes of work because they wanted to inform me of a name change :(
