Wojciech Kwiatkowski (ID: 000000086b1e6b10) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/29/2023 Thighs to fix: You cannot effectively turn off randomness of highlighting colors. If you want to have one color for one list you just cannot set this. There is no documentation how to properly import word lists. Sometimes when you click enter you extend current word text input instead of adding new word. Transfering word lists between computers do not work for browser profile.

Oleg Pierre (ID: 0000000bfca33aae) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/12/2023 This extension is wonderful, it just lacks something to be perfect, could you add the functionality to count the words please? Congratulations for the extension!!!

Constantinos Antoniou (ID: 00000080a28be117) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/24/2023 excellent work

Maverick (ID: 00000086d21dbdfb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/16/2023 This is an excellent extension. But it seems users can only add key words one at a time. Could we copy and paste many words into the list at the same time? Thanks a lot!

Fred Wachtel (ID: 000000d416ccf162) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/09/2023 It's a decent product... still trying to figure out all the options. But did immediately find out that the Sync does not work between instances of Chrome. I am not sure if there is a trick to it, but so far it won't syncronize settings between browsers which is a bummer.
