Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn

Doesn't work
by Sammy Wolfson Sammy Wolfson, 2024-04-15

I just tried and it worked for me for about 20 sec before no matter what I did kept saying INSTAGRAM REFUSES TO CONNECT, kinda scary to leave your account open in a site you can't access to. 2/5 I don't recommend using this, the idea is great and very useful, but the page itself isn't done as it should be.
