Review Summary
Users find the GNOME Shell integration extension essential and useful for managing GNOME extensions from the browser, particularly on Ubuntu. However, a common and recurring issue is the failure to detect or support the 'native host connector,' leading to malfunctions. Documentation to fix these issues is often lacking or unclear. Compatibility problems appear especially with Chromium-based browsers, where Firefox works better. Some users report the extension stops working after OS upgrades. Despite functionality on some systems, overall reliability and support remain inconsistent, leading to frustration among users.
