Hamood Alafifi (ID: 000000d995f01ca2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/30/2023 Doesn't work most of the time, additionally very delayed when works so it sounds awful, especially if I have some sound of a keyboard already. Finally no customization? Very simple implementation to be honest.

oli (ID: 000000632dbe8d23) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/25/2023 its nice, but it does not work if you listen to music/other audio when typing. Instead of playing over your music, it will quiet the music down, then put it back to it's normal audio. VERY distracting, and until this is changed I cannot recommend the extension. Ultimate Chicken Horse ( Original Soundtrack ) is vibing too hard. I refuse to shush it for sfx >:(

Chrystina Q (ID: 0000007173008001) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/05/2023 So far it's been great and I like the sounds, though I do wish that it wouldn't mess up audio from videos I've been watching on another tab
