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 Overlay filter
- It's used like a screenshot tool, but instead of taking a screenshot it displays a box over the selected area. It's an intuitive and easy to use single click extension.
- Click it once to remove it, or hold 'ctrl' and click to remove all boxes.
- It uses the background color of the element it blocks, so with the right selection, integration is seamless.
- You can choose between fixed or absolute position (box moves with scroll or not) as well as colors in the settings pane.
- Everything runs locally and it doesn't connect to a server or collect data.
- Limitation: selection must start within body element
