William Situ (ID: 00000013bab1e788) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/07/2024 Great notes app that works across multiple webpages. Data persists if you turn off and on the extension, and can import/export notes easily. Edit: -2 stars for pushing an update that deletes all my notes. I know was a bug, but a single event like that negates the convenience of the extension. The export is in json so it isn't very interoperable with other note apps anyway.

Jared R (ID: 000000dcaa6ddd12) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/12/2024 Amazing lightweight but super useful tool. I can't live without it now. 2024 EDIT: Three years later and still perfect. This is the most underrated extension in the webstore.

Robin Griggs Wood (ID: 00000090360ea541) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/18/2023 WARNING: This extension just went crazy, creating close to 30 new _empty_ folders in my bookmarks. Developer, please update your app!
