WTF with the spam? #30
Description
Installed extension, immediately, a window pops up with
Hrm, odd, uninstall and install again. Then get a new one:
Repeated and got the last one again. I lost trust with this extension, and this is after I had gained trust by seeing it was here on GitHub. What is up with this?

@ElijahLynn thanks for flagging - apologies for the poor experience. I had forgotten to renew the domain and as a result some automated system snatched it up. The extension was previously referencing relevant material that was hosted on my website at the time. Looks like the new owner has now automated redirects to certain sites unfortunately.
I updated my other extension but unfortunately haven't/forgot to update this one. I can totally understand how it looks like spam. Will find time to update the extension with updated urls.

Phew, thanks so much for that explanation! I trust this again and will go ahead and give this a go! Thanks for your work on this.

Just happened again when I had to "repair" the extension under manage extensions. Please update

This is going to get the extension to be reported by many, if it hasn't already.

As a quick fix I've removed it from the store until I could properly update it.

Hey, I was wondering if there was any work done on fixing this spam issue. I noticed the popups after loading the extension using the files here. I restarted my computer which got rid of extension since it was temporarily loaded but the spam issue still persists. I tried cleaning the registry which didn't fix it.
Any thoughts?

I may have been mistaken in attributing my spam issues to this extension. My previous complaint can be disregarded. Still, it would be awesome if we could get this extension back on the Chrome store.
Sorry for the confusion. I appreciate the work done on this extension.
