[Notes] This extension adds features to the Gmail screen. Because it works from the structure of the page, it may stop working correctly if Gmail changes its screen. If that happens, you can still register subscriptions with "Add manually". Please report problems using the link in Settings. The email search is based on the sender addresses of known services. Not every service will be found. Please add the ones that are not found by hand. Amounts and dates read from an email may differ from the real ones, depending on how the email is written. Please check the details in the form before you save. Amounts converted at an exchange rate are reference values. Real charges will differ. Past payment amounts are estimates based on the start date and billing cycle. They may differ from what was actually charged. "Delete all data" cannot be undone. To keep this extension free and ad-free, your support helps. If it saved you some time, please consider buying me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/kose
