- (2021-03-22) Until Jira gets off their butts and actually follows web standards of handling external links, this extension is so simple and solves the issue perfectly. It's a must have for Jira users.
- (2020-10-07) Cooper Fellows: So far so good, one day in and this has dramatically improved my workflow. Still can't believe Jira doesn't support this natively.
- (2020-09-04) Bert Verhelst: Works perfectly, no setup needed at all
- (2020-07-20) Asfand Qazi: Unlike the most popular extension, this one actually WORKS. Brilliant.
