Website owner? Not keen on the Mellowtel browser library building a botnet of untraceable scrapers from unwitting users who are using a browser plugin that contains Mellowtel? I've raised a GitHub issue for them to explain how much contempt they have for our consent. Join in, politely, make them look like the jerks they are. https://github.com/mellowtel-inc/mellowtel-js/issues/41
