User reviews
Completely useless. You can expand the macros only in the extension's internal field, not on messenger or whatsapp for example. Do not waste your time

It seems that you can only expand the shortcuts within the window of the extension, not in other fields in the browser, so unfortunately this has limited usefulness.

You are the worst ever. You have erased the old tool to have a new tool with the same name. I was shocked that it didn't work and all my data got lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
