Honestly kinda stinks compared to the one I previously used that has since been forcibly removed when Chrome changed extension structure. You can barely do anything with it. You cannot view or control the contents of a torrent or selectively pick what you want from it. You cannot ask for more peers. You cannot check the torrent integrity. You cannot prioritize downloads. All it does is the most basic play/pause/delete. Better than nothing, but honestly pretty limited and the right click action to add a torrent or magnet ALWAYS fails.

The extension itself looks great and was really easy to setup, but apparently it does not play well with Chrome Remote Desktop for some reason. If I enable this extension, I cannot connect to my remote work computer so it's a show stopper. EDIT: I am a developer and did try to get it working but it just consistently made CRD timeout connections each time I enabled it and worked as soon as I disabled it. I disabled all my other extensions to confirm and this was the only one that caused trouble. I have no idea why it would be related, but it definitely is. "Works in my machine" is not acceptable, sorry.

Nice extension, but what it misses is that 'right click' menu option does not work with 'torrent links' (it seems like working only with magnet links). EDIT 4/10/2025: still cannot open torrent files with context menu, keep getting 'Failed to Add Torrent'.
