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 WS Inspector

Allows viewing binary WebSocket frame contents, which the default DevTools does not support. Currently the data is shown in HTML based hex view, and does not work well for large frameStore (~10K+). Considering switching to canvas based view instead. If anyone knows an existing hex viewer module that does not use Angular, I'd be happy to use it instead.
