Dawn Reeve (ID: 000000c5a4e47839) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/06/2023 Overall the functionality of this extension is great - but the fact there is a floating icon that you can't turn off through settings (without turning off the extension) means that it will cover up the top left of the page you are on... which... is sometimes used for menus and logos etc on pages you might be viewing. yes you can move the floating toolbar - but - that is extra work for something I do not use anyway. It is a pity that this is the case because overall the extension is amazing.

Heiko Sendrowski (ID: 0000009251af30a2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/13/2021 Very useful extension. Two questions: 1) Is it possible to export the collected highlights, e.g. in a csv form? 2) How can the logo that inserts itself in the top left corner of every page be removed?

Rogerio M. Souza (ID: 000000ad064aee15) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/20/2021 It Works very well... I just found the configuration of PROXY very difficult, and I couldn't install PROXY. The purpose of the extension is a marvel. Congratulations to @Ming Liang/@Gr8Miller developer!
