Donald Prescott (ID: 00000041d56a1726) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/03/2023 Using in Edge. Works well enough when needed - I think the icon next to the phone numbers is a bit large and distracting but it works fine. Bug? It seems that when you load Edge it activates regardless of the switch setting. I leave it disabled most of the time so it is noticeable to me. I see the handset icon next to phone numbers but the icon is displaying the red X. If I click it twice then the handset disappears next to the phone numbers.

H. Smith (ID: 000000eab188f12d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/23/2023 Works great except for phones using common dot format. Example: 413.412.1245 This formatting is fairly common and it would be nice if the extension could treat the dot (period) as a hyphen. See: https://www.businesswritingblog.com/business_writing/2007/01/how_to_format_p.html

c (ID: 00000070f5c4f6ec) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/04/2022 Does what it is supposed to do .

Stefan Martens (ID: 00000007bfa97a57) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/13/2022 It detects numbers like +49 1234 567890 and 01234 567890 without problems. But it also detects some invalid numbers like in postal addresses, if they are written in one line, just separated with a comma. It also detects the video position (eg. "00:00:00 / 01:00:00") while streaming on Disney+ as telephone number. Hint for other users: If you want to use this with the Microsoft Smartphone Link app, to dial clicked numbers with your smartphone, select the tel protocol and disable the "Insert '//' notation" option in the options of this add in.
