Omar Monnoo (ID: 0000009bcfdfe3bb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/28/2022 As a college freshman, this is one of my favourite Chrome Extensions. Topical indexing has improved my retention and helped me draw links between what I read for my classes and what I read in my free time. The thumbnail view is also a really powerful way to go back to articles I have read in the past, which I may not have bookmarked. It would be impossible to find them again through google history. The very fact that it essentially separates denser 'article' reading from the rest of my browsing history is enough to warrant 5 stars. I hope the project continues and am patiently awaiting for an export feature.

Sona Buloyan (ID: 00000021ea51eddd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/24/2020 Kaffae is one of my favorite extensions on Chrome, as I really enjoy reading articles. I have been using it for about two years. It was greatly improved and become more interesting over time. Very good web design and user menu. This application has good features to monitor my reading pace and preference. Also, it categorizes my reading into the library so I can easily find articles that I want to reread again and safe favorite ones. I like the Discover page as it brings interesting recommendations not only for articles but also for books based on my previous readings. Also, thanks to this extension I create a habit to read more articles and set weekly goals of reading time. I always find interesting articles from my friends and famous journals as it has a Feed page where you can follow people and journals. I have discovered a lot about myself thanks to this product and I recommend it for people who like to spend time reading.

Dvij Patel (ID: 00000039fa849766) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/23/2020 I've been using this product for more than a year now and it's great! Usually I just forget articles after reading them and don't keep track of how much reading a week I do. But with Kaffae, I set a goal of reading at least 10 articles a week and aim to hit it. There's a really cool memory feature that brings up past articles that you've read which is perfect to go over things that you may have forgotten. I have also requested for some features, and they have been implemented pretty quickly by the creator! 😊
