I read the reviews below, mostly from 2022, and thot they may have updated it to work on Chrome. Not yet. The concept sounds great though!

I like the app but I mostly read papers online with chrome and the app doesn't detect the extension. I could select text but selecting a long article is tiering and cmd+A also select menue bar, ad...

Not working on Mac OS Ventura + Chrome. Tells me the extension isn't downloaded when it is. When I click on the icon in the extensions area, it tells me the companion mac app isn't installed, which it also is. Occasionally I'll click the ⌘⇧E hotkey and it'll switch to an article view, but most of the time it tells me to install the already-installed components. In it's current state, it needs updating.

Same problem as everybody else. Using Brave which uses Chromium.

Not working with macOs + chrome. Both app and extension installed but when I want to activate quiet reader I always receive and error message extension not found. It wants me to enable the extension or download the mac app however everything is set as it suppose to. Tried it in Safari and it works seamlessly even without any need of extension, just the mac app. So I guess the Chrome Extension is causing the problems. Fix would be highly appreciated.

I have both the extension and the companion Mac app installed and the app still gives me the notice to "please select some text".

I have the Mac app installed but when I try to activate the Quiet Reader Chrome extension it doesn't work and I get this message: "Download Companion Mac App"
