Kemp Tastic (ID: 000000901e87e139) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/06/2023 Only looks at top level domain. Wanted to use this to take notes on eBay listings but despite making multiple notes on separate listing pages, the extension only looked at "ebay.com" so all my notes overwrote each other and despite taking at least 30+ notes, I only have 1 currently visible to me. Colossal waste of my time and effort. Feel scammed out of my time.

Owen Johnson (ID: 000000f27830fe6b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/22/2023 Simple, easy, and utilitarian. Exactly what I was looking for.

Kelly Peterson (ID: 000000e7c3d8bb74) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/22/2023 This is amazing! It's nothing fancy, but it's super helpful and much needed! It's extremely simple to set up and use. There is another Notes Extension for Chrome that has more ratings and it says that it's the only extension that can take notes on a page without needing a pop up window - NOT TRUE! This one does not need a pop up window!!!! Highly recommended!!

Scarlet (ID: 00000090bc30d3e8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/05/2023 Hello, I just want to thank the person who made this. I was thinking just now how useful an extension like that could be, searched it up and here it is, so thank you!

mori yuji (ID: 0000009cc2927335) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/01/2023 ドメイン毎にメモを管理することができるシンプルなツールでとてもいい。メモをポップアップで確認する場合、視認性をよくするためにフォントやフォントサイズの変更ができるとうれしい。Very nice simple tool to manage memos by domain. It would be nice to be able to change the font and font size for better visibility when viewing memos in a pop-up window.
