User reviews

Users appreciate WhenX for its ability to track and timestamp visited Google search links, significantly aiding memory and workflow. However, many express frustration over recent changes shifting its focus to LinkedIn profiles, and the introduction of a paid plan limiting free usage to just 10 searches daily. Compatibility issues and desires for support on other search engines and platforms are also noted. Despite these issues, the extension remains highly valued for its core functionality.

Pros

Helps track and timestamp visited Google search result links, aiding memory and work efficiency.
Users find it very useful and essential for managing numerous Google searches daily.
Effective and accurate in marking visited links and providing timestamps.
Positive user sentiment about its impact on workflow and search management.

Cons

Recent major change in functionality: shifted focus from general Google search results to LinkedIn profiles.
Introduction of a paid subscription model limiting free usage, causing dissatisfaction among users.
Limitation of free users to 10 Google searches with timestamps per day is considered too low.
Some features like Web Notes are not compatible with other browsers (Edge).
Requests for expansions to other search engines (DuckDuckGo, Bing) and platforms (Google Scholar).

Avgree with other reviews like @Benham Mo - its totally changed what it used to do which would simply tell you when you have visited each google search link. Now it is doing something completely different and focuses on LinkedIn. This is surreptitious and dishonest.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

WhenX: Mark Linkedin Profiles with notes requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
