Hello, I recently found myself repeatedly browsing various websites in search of new posts, and I heard there was an extension that could do this on my behalf, which is why I decided to install it.
The extension turned out to be even more satisfying than I had expected, and I am considering making a payment for it.
Before doing so, I would like to know how long this company has been operating and how stable its operations appear to be.
Is this a project run by an individual?
@nyankatx3 Thank you for your thoughtful question, and we’re really glad to hear you’ve had a good experience with the extension so far.
