Hi everyone.

Today I got a letter from Microsoft and Google Legal teams that this app infringes Microsoft's Trademarks, and I should take the app down.

I have considered alternative actions I can take, such as changing the app's name and logo, but I eventually decided to stop the app's development. In the end, paired with Microsoft's recent move (#74), it seems Microsoft really wants to shut down these extensions, and even if I resolve the current issue, it does not feel like MS will stop. Plus, they are already rolling out access from other browsers (source).

Within the next hour to two days, I will shut down the App's distribution. Feel free to make a fork, but beware, Microsoft will reach out to you if you get too big.

It was an honor, everyone. 🫡
