I read reports daily and often ship fixes or new website support the next day, when reports include enough details. If something does not work, send a report from the extension instead of leaving a bad review. Reports help me fix real problems, and we both benefit from it; bad reviews help you relieve frustration but usually do not include enough data to debug anything... Use MAX responsibly and only download content you have the right to save.
