Review Summary
Users appreciate Eight Dollars for reinstating legacy verification badges and distinguishing them from paid ones, which enhances Twitter navigation. The developer is responsive to updates, especially after platform changes. However, a common issue is that private or locked accounts are often wrongly tagged as paid, leading to confusion. The extension also periodically becomes nonfunctional after Twitter's domain and UI updates, requiring timely fixes. Other minor problems include occasional misclassification of verified organizations and malfunctioning optional features. Overall, the extension remains valuable but needs updates to maintain accuracy and functionality.
