This extension is paywalled! It costs money, and asks for payment when you first open it.
That's true. It is open source. You could just modify the code to not do the validation check. And then install the extension that way.
It could get forked and maintained by another group that maintains a separate database.
I'm on the fence about this monetization model, running a database hit by thousands or millions of browsers is going to cost money. We'll see if the project remains a success
