wont work

It's the only extension of it's kind that one can find, and it does well what it's promised to do, but it can make pages very kludgy to read, especially if you are able to mostly read the characters and just need a few spelt out here and there. I would suggest: - Making the font much smaller so that it doesn't expand the page so much - Being able to select a sentence and have only that sentence be added pinyin to Bug: - If you click the extension more than once (which I did trying to turn it off), it inserts the pinyin several times.
