Adib Salvi Ahmed (ID: 000000f0279ea40b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/05/2018 Great extension to get a quick snapshot of an article if you don't have the time to go through the entire thing yourself. I found the summaries to be quite accurate and highlighted the main points really well. Also gives you an idea of the subjectivity of an article, which adds another dimension to the snapshot.
