User reviews

Constantly asks for permissions to open Bear on each click. Doesn't work on amazon pages with the default settings. Assume it's amazon protecting against scraping, but given it's prevalence, would be good for this extension to note this, or code a workaround of saving just URL and title.

Keeps asking for permission for each site. Really, it should ask for permissions once, not for each site.

Jaroslaw Mroz, 2024-08-29

Doesn't get everything, specifically, code blocks. Initial result looks great, but when you look it over and realize HALF the content is missing, it's pretty disappointing. I basically got a better result by highlighting the whole page and doing a copy/paste.... At least content doesn't get lost that way.
