AND (ID: 000000d7649bbeaa) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/29/2023 Работает. Правда пришлось поменять хоткей. По умолчанию отправляет на печать) И еще зачем-то просит включить Джаву в Хроме

Michael “Mike” Heath (ID: 000000948e76c63d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/13/2023 For a positive review, the extension must work, this does not. I uninstalled and installed again and now I am diverted back to this page while trying to save a webpage. Yes I have logged in.

Bryan Fong (ID: 000000e1a1ce549d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/23/2023 firefox account switch leaves this extension completely unusable for me. I can't log in to my account, but it acts like I'm logged in, and it shows me a functional-looking account with a grand total of 1 bookmark inside. I don't even have to enter a password to get into this fake/sample/old account. I can still get into my real account on firefox

Laszlo Stadler (ID: 0000002f052d1540) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 I find the premium prices ridiculous. I would be willing to pay 1€ a month maybe for them, but not more. This way, I've even lost desire to use the free version.

Randy S (ID: 00000028d39ab399) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/31/2023 Long time user of Read Later & then Pocket. I have saved and read tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands, of articles via the app over the past decade. However, recent changes make the use of it painful and the Chrome extension particularly hemorrhoid inducing. If Mozilla were a public company I'd make millions by shorting their stock. Their obvious apathy and pithy attitudes towards the app are disgusting and vile. If I wanted to login via a FIREFOX account I'd set one up. C'mon man, get out of the 90s. I'd rather sign in via Pine or Tapcis.
