Metehan Arslan (ID: 00000017124484b7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/21/2023 Great extension! Simple and useful. Only thing that I don't like is everytime it loads there is an animation for the left bar. You can't disable animation and it's kinda annoying but not a deal breaker.

Facundo Zapata (ID: 0000000a3c9bcc72) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/16/2023 Nothing more to say, great extension

Michael Newbeing (ID: 0000005a3e9adf27) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/14/2023 I like the idea of having notes in a tab, but I would much more prefer to be inside a specific URL. Notes could open in a new tab only when you click on an icon. My new tab is reserved for other things and I don't like every time when I open a new tab that I need to look at notes. I tried to contact developer via email and Facebook page, but he is not responding. I hope at least he reads reviews and might respond.
