I turn off Adult Content Popups, exit Chrome, re-launch Chrome and the Adult Content Popups is turned on again. I had to jettison the extension. Seems like a good idea only if it worked.

Works, partialy... edit: It stopped working...

Ali Yüksel ŞENEL·27 Jul 2024

Worked great, while it did. Stopped working yesterday. Youtube won't play vid's while this plugin is active. Is there a fix coming?
