User reviews

Не работает. Unable to spritz.

Does not work on Brave or Chrome. Highlighting text, right clicking and selecting Spritz does nothing despite the extension being active. Its a shame as the old Spritzlet was very handy.

I have used Spritz since inception. I have dyslexia and this is what I use to read long articles online. Over the past few months I've been unable to access Spritz and am even unable to login. Looking forward to the fix. Thanks.
