| 2024-02-21 | Balmung | | Have the same problems as Michael R. The menu is slow as hell, the drop down didn't works as it should and Firefox (Win10) hangs often for seconds. No impact on performance as long the menu is closed. Makes it hard to use at all. When it worked as it should it was a clear 5 Star Add-on for me. Hope the author can fix that problem. |
| 2024-01-23 | Michael Rabinovsky | | I have been using this addon for so long I can't remember. It has saved my hide on countless occasions. Unfortunately, it no longer works right (I will try to add an issue to github). The interface takes half a minute to load, it doesn't fit the popup screen it opens, the last text entered is saved, but the drop down can't be accessed to see any history. On top of that whenever I open it and try to exit it, the entire browser hangs. If I wrote this review three years ago it would be five stars, I'm giving it three star for its utility, but in its current state it really deserves to be one star because it doesn't work. |
| 2023-12-14 | 4EverMaAT | | Saved my bacon on several occasions. As sometimes you submit a form after typing a long essay and then some error occurs or the page "expired" or some other non-sense and you must start all over. Important: you must limit the amount of days to save....so that the database doesn't get to large and crash. I recommend 6 months maximum (181 days). Author should have a default of 1-3 months. |
