    While it does the job, it also eats a lot of resources in the background (could take up gigabytes of RAM and a CPU core for nothing) and does few requests for some reason. Which not only thrashes console with warnings when you work locally, but very concerning as well, because why would an extension like this would make any XHR requests at all?

    I got rid of it and do not recommend it. I cannot seriously support my claim since Firefox resource manager does not show which extension takes resources, but my browser got significantly better after I disabled it. I advice fellow Firefox users to look for an alternative.

    Hello,

    The XHR requests are only made if you enabled the "Ultra" features inside the extension. By default, these are disabled and need a manual confirmation to enable them. These features include creating disposable email addresses, so the XHR requests are created at defined intervals to check if you received any new messages on these addresses.

    Regarding resource consumption, it could be true. Extensions can behave differently on different systems. I would gladly investigate with you this issue, and the one with XHR, if you can provide me with more information that you might have by email at frustrations@haterapps.com

    Thanks!

    overall is great and love the learning feature. Would also be great if cities and countries provided real existing data, and not some made up cities that don't exist.

    Hi Gamesh,

    First, thank you for your review and suggestion. The countries that are generated are real, but about the cities you are right, they are not.

    On my list of "Cool stuff that would be nice to have implemented at some point in the future", there is a section where you will be able to edit the database of names that are used to generate the data, but I cannot tell right now when it will be fully implemented.

    However, I can help you overwrite the City generator and make it generate real city names. Just send me an email and we'll fix it.
