It's a great extension but has one annoying thing - when you open Chrome while not having uTorrent Web opened on your desktop, the extension always opens the new tab with this address: http://www.puupnewsapp.com/utorrent-for-chrome/ And there's no way to turn that off.

Doesn't work it does web redirects to try to get you to buy/install other software. It steals your password for your web url for utorrent web gui. Suggest changing your web ui password if you used this extension
