- (2023-08-07) Usman Subhani: Please add support for MV3 service worker. I am able to check the storage data by opening extension manifest file in a separate tab and check the dev console in that tab. But this workaround is a bit annoying. Also chrome storage api has a new 'Session' type storage. Would be helpful if we can view that as well.
- (2023-07-05) Q伟N: good
- (2023-06-24) _CsAvIeR _: Love this extension, it helps me monitor what was going on with my extension, huge time saver, and well done, I also love that you can edit the storage directly from the tab, 11/10 <3
- (2023-05-30) Rafael: Super útil. Justo lo que estaba buscando. Muy importante teniendo en cuenta la relevancia del storage en las web extension. Acelera todo el desarrollo, ya que te evita tener que estar constantemente metiendo comandos en consola para verificar el estado del storage. Debería de haberla instalado mucho antes, me hubiera ahorrado mucho tiempo.
- (2023-05-19) dimden: Works great! If you don't see chrome.storage tabs you have to open URL starting with chrome-extension://ID/somethinghere and then it'll appear
- (2023-03-24) Jason Polites: Doesn't seem to do anything. No additional tabs appear in the dev console. No errors in the logs. Just does nothing as far as I can see
- (2023-03-23) Alex Vernacchia: This was a great find when developing my first extension. I was having a lot of trouble inspecting this data, but this extension made it super easy
- (2023-02-21) ylhb Neeler: It's great!!!
- (2022-11-01) Darren Williams: Very nice. It would be nice if it also worked for extensions that are purely service workers too- at the moment your extension thinks it isn't on an extension page when you go to their inspect view, so it doesn't show the storage, even though the APIs are the same (so I assume it is just a problem in the way you check to see if it is an extension view or not).
- (2022-10-31) Ahmet Erden: Top-notch helper. Thanks developer
- (2022-07-25) tabliqat chi: Amazing and super helpful extension, just one question, are there any reasons you're not showing chrome.storage.session? Is it sort of 'inaccessible' to your extension?
- (2022-05-24) Gareth Ng: Fruitful! Thank you!
- (2022-04-10) Michael Bladowski: this is so terrible useful, thanks a lot for your work !!!!!!!!!
- (2022-04-05) Andreas: It was great but it has stopped working. Clicking the extension icon doesn't do anything.
- (2022-03-11) Antonio José Salinero Gascón: Muy útil y, por ahora, la única con esta función.
- (2021-08-31) Open Source Freedom: Can't even get it to work. I click and nothing happens (basically inactive). no options. Something is amiss... It looks awesome at the start, but just can't make it work.
- (2021-08-23) Uladzimir Yankovich: Loved it!
- (2021-05-31) Great, all i needed was to view and maybe edit the storage
- (2021-04-01) Christoffer Brobäck: Awesome! perfect way * to backup and restore extension settings * debloat and manipulate extensions with increasingly large datasets such as OneTab * keep setting-profiles betwin sessions * accessing some data extensions don't let you export or download to easy
- (2021-01-23) Forex Dude: ffs, add a simple instruction on how to access
- (2020-12-16) Omar Essam: Great extension

- (2019-04-13) Jeffrey Paulino: This extension is awesome! Has helped me facilitate my storage sync development
- (2018-06-17) mrtoxas (mrtoxas): Excellent!
- (2018-05-01) Honza Kopecký: Saved my life! Thanks!
- (2018-03-23) Сергей Калинин: Бесполезное расширение. Не работает с хранилищем хрома. А с хранилищами вкладки и так работают встроенные средства.
- (2018-03-08) Remington Steed: Import is destructive. It deletes all settings, then adds only what is in your import. INSTEAD, it should only overwrite settings that exist in your storage with those from your import. I'll be glad to update my rating when this is fixed. PLEASE FIX!
- (2017-11-08) Rahul Pable: Thanks!!!!
- (2017-10-15) Qsin wakrttk: It halts debugging any other web-product, than extension/app. Tab just reloads many times that just eat CPU resources. Fix please.
- (2017-09-30) Ozjasz Goldberg: Helped me alot when developing chrome extension. Couldn't find any other extension that provides chrome.storage.sync data, thank you!
- (2017-08-23) salvatore nicosia: buon mercoledi da borghetto
- (2017-07-29) Max Hetfeld: This extension once again saved Panda Styler extension!
- (2017-05-16) Alexandru Ungureanu: no instructions on how to use
- (2017-05-05) Would love to have some missing feature but it's already a must-have for Chrome extensions developers. Features I'd like to have: - Ctrl - Enter shortcut to save - More JSON-editing features: - blocks expand/collapse - auto-indent
- (2017-05-02) Rowel: Very useful, this should have been a default in chrome.
- (2017-04-05) Rafis Ganeev: Works very slow on large datasets.
- (2017-04-04) Ionut Baban: Great extension. Since the icon has not browserAction attached it should be removed.
- (2017-03-12) Paul Hitz: Works great. Thank you for creating this.
- (2017-01-21) Oscar: On the surface: Works well for simple things, enable file access and you can explore other apps via options/background page. I've not tried import & export functionality. The change value could be inline for small values. That is why I put 4*
- (2017-01-04) Ravi Kumar Prasad: Worked good for my purpose.
- (2016-12-30) Антон Пегов: Realy, what is this aaddon for? It's not adding nothing extra to original chrome explorer. What I rely looking for - is ability to browse my stored objects. Not edit the JSON mess, but browse them. Why you named youre app "Explorier"? Name it JSON mess Editor than ) This is only extra functionalyty it has.
- (2016-12-25) Veeresh Devireddy: Overall its work nice, but below issues needs to be fixed: 1. Doesn't work consistently with extensions, where it fails to reload/refresh 2. Its adding many "\n" chars in string format of json data specially with SYNC storage, but its fine with localstorage 3. Sync storage data display is truncated to "..." and not auto-wrapped. Can't see full text, have to expand everytime 4. Not displaying data size for localstorage as shown for Sync data. Rest all looks good. Lastly, please enable support for this in your dashboard, so we can create Bugs/Questions here itself and you can respond accordingly from your dashboard. Thanks!
