Cheyenne Perkins (ID: 0000007b8e5a0b90) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/10/2024 It would be 5 stars If It didn't keep deleting my notes. Thought this would be a great extension. I'm not sure If there's a limit that I didn't know about but If there Is one, they should've added that Information Into the description. It would also keep changing the size of the text to something other than what I clicked on or It would just stay the same.
