I am sorry to say that I cannot provide a positive review for this extension. Despite multiple attempts to make it work properly, I have encountered consistent technical issues that have hindered its functionality. Unfortunately, the extension does not deliver on its promised features and has caused frustration rather than convenience. I hope this feedback can be used to improve the extension for future users. Thank you.

Works on all pages, but converting my pdf to html did not help, it still wouldn't register on it. Maybe help from the devs? If so and I can get it working my review will go up because in general it works!

Works more often than other extensions, but leaves a lot to be desired. This extension tends to distort formatting on about half the websites. On https://www.gencoupe.com/threads/diy-front-rear-sway-bar-install.134268/, all the text shifted out of the boxes and into the ad space, layering text ontop and underneath other text, which was entertaining but illegible. Other websites had no formatting issues, and while it was a little annoying to look at, I *did* find my reading comprehension improved when rapidly scanning the page. The google chrome web store text seems immune. Pdfs opened in the browser seem unaffected as well, though I may not be "converting them to html".
