LHS Shadow (ID: 000000d7b254aa5f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/29/2022 Works very well and makes college and high school 10x easier. I did notice a bug where the date accessed is 1 day ahead of what it should be (ex. Accessed on 29, when you accessed it on the 28)

DGHBT (ID: 000000d585fd8366) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/26/2022 ALL THE 1 STAR REVIEWS ARE BOTS!!!! THIS WORKS REALLY WELL!!!!

Kareem Baba (ID: 000000bee5cc9c39) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/15/2021 Half of the time, the details aren't correct, despite the original author and actual publication date being explicitly displayed at the top of the articles. I'd rather manually type the reference as editing the given reference wastes more time. Furthermore, roughly 35% of the time, the extension is ineligible to cite a website.
