Agnetha Fältskog (ID: 0000003e46cacee1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/27/2022 I love this extension! I have to report an issue though. For some reason it has stopped working on the Archive Of Our Own website, which is where it's most helpful for me. I'm not sure why!

Adam Potter (ID: 00000039e43b5d82) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/13/2022 This is an amazing extension that works simply brilliantly. As someone who has obsessive-compulsive tendencies when it comes to mechanics like punctuation, I am so grateful for it! 😆 Recently, the extension stopped working on messenger.com and WhatsApp's web version. Will this hopefully be corrected in a forthcoming update?

Oğuz Kaan Aybak (ID: 000000908b9f0e32) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/11/2022 Very cool application, however for my uses, I don't want the ... to be replaced. I'd love it if we could manually turn off the replacement of certain symbols.
