User reviews

Users love the Notepad extension for its simplicity, auto-save, sync, and URL linking features, relying on it heavily for their notes over years. However, multiple reviews lament lack of updates causing it to be unsupported in latest Chrome versions, leading to data loss risks and functionality issues. Key missing features include undo, renaming, better note management, dark theme, and window customization. Users request developers to update it to preserve its utility or suggest good alternatives. The extension remains the best option despite these limitations.

Cons

Extension is not updated and currently unsupported by latest Chrome versions
