Shortcuts for Google™ Chrome Extension Analysis

Lack of keyboard shortcut support for custom links, absence of cross-device preference synchronization, and no option to disable auto-opening tabs during updates.

Support

Multiple users reported that the developer is unresponsive to bugs and requests sent through the official contact link.

Reliability

Complaints include slow extension performance, the popup window being too small to use effectively, icons resetting to default, and updates deleting user-configured shortcuts.
