Install.Activate.Nothing. No settings nor controls

Very sus plugin. I installed it and activated. No settings or controls – just sits there, gathering information I suppose? Uninstalled immediately.

No LinkedIn

The description says it includes LinkedIn, but it doesn’t, not unless you pay. It was the only one I wanted! Shame.
