User reviews
This addon gets updates on chrome extensions store (last got in may 2024) but has not got any since 2019 on mozilla firefox addons store, which shows how much addon dev cares about firefox and firefox users. As of now this is not working on zen browser and floorp browser and 135 versions. Lacks TTS feature and more fonts options. Check yourself, people.
