  • Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.14.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Great plugin ever, which helps in flexibility for CSS, HTML, by just adding only class in body, detecting browser and its platform… 🤗🤗🤗

    For wordpress developer its been complicated to detect browser/platform, this plugin will add browser/platform name as class in body tag of webpage, so as a developer you can easily detect browser/platform and write some CSS or JS stuff according to your requirements. Enjoy guys… 🙂
