Den K (ID: 000000cf8745c095) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/28/2024 No longer makes summaries. No matter how long you wait. Was good when it worked Update: it started working when they resolved some web related stuff on their end. However apparently it is not able to read page content, so when asking for a summary it tells roughly what is is summarizing is. I'm sorry, but totally useless now.

Nitin Joshi (ID: 0000009bc7e69caa) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/02/2024 Original Review: Great implementation. However, I have noticed that the extension is not functioning properly lately. I suspect that it's related to the frequent appearance of captchas on the website. Since the extension cannot prompt for captchas, it gets stuck and becomes non-functional. I hope the developers are aware of this issue and will fix it soon. Edit 1: The above issue was resolved. Thanks. Here's another one. The link copied from the extension doesn't seem to work anymore. Example use case: 1. I use the extension to summarise a web page 2. I copy the link so that I can access the summary later on 3. I go to the link and it simply takes me to perplexity's default home page Please fix it.

Eric Ketzer (ID: 000000366f16dbf6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/11/2024 It does the job. And fast. (though often it doesn't connect to the site Perplexity because the site needs to pass here and then a cloudflare check. That part is annoying)
