The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About GoLocal

This extension was built to solve a very specific annoyance I encountered while developing certain types of web applications: When working locally and testing a feature that requires a redirect to a predefined URL (not localhost), I found myself having to edit the URL in my browser to keep all the newly added path and parameters, but replace the host/domain with localhost to continue debugging. This extension might only be handy for web developers who encounter this scenario, but it essentially let's you "swap" the domain/host of any website with another value that you define. For example, you can swap "https://www.some-app.xyz/path/page?param=value" with: "http://localhost:1234/path/page?param=value" If you're not sure if this would be helpful, then you probably don't need it! :)
