We love taking those common, everyday annoyances and eliminating them by building the right extensions to make the day run 5-10% smoother. Call them life hacks if you like, or simply work tools to put in your daily toolbox that you bring to the office.
One such annoyance when emailing is that dreadful moment when you accidentally hit “reply all” rather than “reply” — and then you realise and either put your head in your hands and wonder internally “Why the hell did I do that?” or let out a resigned sigh of disbelief. (We know because we’ve been there and done that — doh!)
That’s why we brought RASTA (the reply-all stop alert) to life and are unleashing her today to guard your emails and prevent possible communication calamities.
So how exactly does it work? When you receive an email that you intend to reply to, RASTA highlights the “Reply all” button in yellow to make the contrast between buttons easier to identify — because if your day consists of writing and responding to many emails, it’s not too difficult to click the wrong reply option.
If you do click “Reply all” and begin to write an email response, RASTA will remind you with a clear red banner that you have in fact clicked on “Reply all”. Because like all good communication, clarity can save you a lot of time, and potentially a lot of embarrassment.
We’ve already been using it internally, and love how it functions.
Beyond eliminating disastrous emails, we’re proud to state that RASTA was developed by a young developer on our team, Alexia Abrego, as part of her training and education. Congratulations, firstly, to you, Alexia.
Secondly, congrats to Agustina Alvarez (lead designer), JJ and Morgan (who tirelessly attempted to break RASTA during bug-finding expeditions).

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
