Breaks page functions providing more burden than help.

This interferes with changing the text styles in Gmail in th Edge browser. When I'm typing a Gmail reply and highlight some text to change it to italic or bold or anything, the highlight becomes un-highlighted and no style change happens. Had to remove it to solve the problem.

Constantly stops and you have to reset the app. Sometimes it'll get 1 sentence in and then stop, other times it will get 3 paragraphs in and then stop.
