Recent reviews
First impressions of this extension are OK but certainly nothing great. For one, I have to keep accepting cookies from some of the pop-up webpages even though I've pressed 'Accept' a hundred times. Also the Google Translate is not working, a blip that has been noted by others before me (the one before me was 2 years ago in Feb 2021) so I don't think the dev is being too proactive about updating this. That goes for the Oxford Dictionary link too. Basically needs a good overhaul and update to be fully functional... but don't hold your breath!
