- It does work, but .... Could you please tell me how to stop these annoying popups? Without the popus it would be a 5 star review.

- Very handy extensions that acts as a shortcut for archive.ph. HOWEVER totally unusuable since it keeps spamming bogus desktop notifications every tenth minute or so. Unfortunately, there seem to be no way to turn this off.
