en It works but there's a lot of bugs. Tons of places where the extension will add the same pinyin multiple times from 1 click. execution doesn't feel flushed out and given that it's been so long since the initial reviews, I feel that the original developer won't be making changes.

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.

This is extremely helpful for an intermediate Chinese learner as it shows both the pinyin and the Characters. There are other extensions which just convert to pinyin which doesn't really help much. Using this with a dictionary app like Pleco means you can easily look up words you don't know. One downside is there are sometimes formatting problems such as the pinyin appearing in the middle of the Chinese characters, and there is occasionally incorrect pinyin when the word has multiple pronunciations.
