Works exactly like I need! Thanks for making this extension!
by Nick Nick, 2023-11-28

Simple and practical to use. This is exactly what I was looking for to encrypt some partial contents on personal documents. But the most important feature I needed was the right click and this extension delivers this functionality in a really comfortable way to use it.

Simple and functional. Gets the job done but I would have liked to be able to replace a text with its encrypted version without having to copy and paste it from the extension, and same for decryption. Until somebody comes up with a better solution or I get time to write it up I will continue using this.
