: ) changed my life

I used this extension for 1 year and it really helped me improve my English, Portuguese and Russian. But now It crashes every time I open a video (any video from youtube, netflix or even my own videos). This extension was perfect, but now my recommendation is to make your own flash cards for sentence mining or learning by context. [Edit from new Migaku extension] Thanks for everything (I mean it). I have to mention that the problem hasn't been solved, and it's frustrating. I've been using this extension for a really long time and enjoyed it, but now I've decided to record my own media audio from various sources (Netflix, videos I already had, HBO, etc.). So, the only advice I can give is to continue with what you were doing with the Migaku legacy extension because it was the right one. I appreciate all your work, but it's no longer functioning properly, so there's no reason to keep paying for this service. I said "thanks" because Migaku Legacy and this extension helped me improve my English, Portuguese, and Russian through learning by context and sentence mining.
