Extension now unavailable

[zach-browserless]

Chrome is giving me the following warning and deactivated the extension.

"This extension hasn't published privacy practices, such as how it collects and uses data."

I found a way to over-rule it and switch the extension back on, but it doesn't seem ideal.

I second this! A number of people use this extension in our office, and we prefer this extension because it is so simple and does the job well.

I know this is due to Google's requirements for transparency in how data is used. I'm hopeful you can update the listing with their new boxes checked so it'll keep working.
