Wouldn't load just buffered whenever I clicked the extension. All I saw was a blue box and an R and nothing happened no matter how many times I installed and removed it. Waste of my time. If I could I'd rate it 0 stars, it's completely useless.

I think it is good but the close button on the pop-up does NOT work!

The extension has a good and intuitive interface and it's very simple to use. One suggestion I would like to give is to allow us to quickly estimate the reading time of the current page by clicking on the extension's icon (See here for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkI_joxwfZI). Right now I have to do Ctrl+A > Right click > Estimate read time. Thanks.
