However, recent major update (version 2.0) introduced usability problems such as large blurry icons without text labels, making navigation difficult. Additional complaints include missing Google app functionality, intrusive ads, increased permissions, and uninstall issues. Many users requested reverting to the previous design due to these problems. Prior to the update, the extension was considered a must-have and highly rated for simplicity and helpfulness.
