This extension used to have utility, but now it opens a new tab claiming it is "updated" in every browser, every time I open a browser. Over and over and over. It's beyond annoying, and I am removing this extension from all browsers immediately. I used to use it and actually recommended it to some colleagues, but NEVER again. Buggy, annoying, and annoying. Also, it's SUPER ANNOYING to get these tabs opening up repeatedly, which is really annoying. Now, you should be as annoyed as I am using this extension with the repeated expression of the same message "Updated...".

Hey Pretty reliable in detecting and parsing tag that effectively did fire But since a few days it keeps opening a new tab towards https://www.observepoint.com/ claiming that it has updated. Once would be OK, but now it's daily !!! Please let us work !

Used it once a few months ago, and it was a helpful tool! I only need to use it very infrequently though, and for the last few weeks it automatically opens up a new tab every day with an ad for it's new features and premium version. I'm removing the extension just to stop the constant ads. If I need the tool again, I'll install it, use it, then quickly uninstall it again. :/

Downgraded review. Looks like it doesn't support newer versions of Chrome.

Similar issue to the last comment. It was fantastic, but stopped working with the last chrome update. To make matters worse, it is constantly running a high process 8-10% cpu at all times.

It still seems to work but the export option doesn't include the "latency" metric, which is a shame as it's quite important. The export also doesn't include the URL of each script, which is a surprising and disappointing omission indeed.

Has some bugs, sometimes stops working tracking events and requires a restart of Chrome. It does not record GA events with the {transport:'beacon'} option. it is easier to read than GA debugger but ultimately less useful.

Observepoint has been GREAT the last few months... but the extension seems to have stopped working with the latest Chrome update. I'm not seeing any tags anymore.
