User reviews
Sadly updating my review about a year later to go from 5 to 1 star. This extension was great but clearly hasn't been updated in over a year (as per github) and simply doesn't work anymore. I would love to see it work again, it made the site endurable!
Old, 5-star review: A lovely improvement on the current site, thank you! I do still have the "profile visitors" link in the "audience" tab with its obnoxious red notification dot, but an improvement overall :)
