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 Remove Selection

After selecting some text, you can click the icon on the browser Toolbar, or choose 'Remove Selection' in the right-click Menu. I wrote it because it was one of the feature in FastestFox for Firefox and I love it, but did not find a good alternative in Chrome.
