## Review summary

Users generally find the add-on useful and able to download conversations, but several reviews report consistent problems: exported text often loses Markdown formatting and list content, the download button can be hidden at the bottom of a long conversation sidebar (requiring refresh/scroll), occasional failures occur, and there is no option to choose download format or file extension.

### Pros

- Effectively downloads conversations — multiple users report it works and is useful.
- Simple and does what many users needed (several reviews call it "works" or "perfect").
- If the button doesn't show immediately, refreshing/scrolling the conversation list often makes the download button appear (workaround reported by multiple users).

### Cons

- Strips formatting/Markdown (bold, headings, lists) — exported text loses markup and some list content.
- Download button is placed at the bottom of the left sidebar and can be hidden/unreachable when you have many conversations.
- Intermittent failures or appears broken sometimes (users report occasional non-working behavior).
- No option to choose download format or file extension (users requested markdown/HTML or selectable extensions).
