I love it, makes it quick and easy to view pdf's and I can import references into EndNote web, so no complaints from me.

This used to be a very useful tool but ever since the EndNote rebranding, it is garbage. I appreciated being logged in automatically to my accounts so I can get past paywalls easily but now instead of refreshing the page to show full articles, you are forced to view everything in their viewer. Their viewer does not provide any benefits to me but does come with annoyances. I'll stick to just logging myself in now. The biggest flaw is the forced logo in the lower left hand side of EVERY page the extension thinks you MIGHT want to use it for. This means that if you use anything NCBI at all, you are forced to watch the distracting "loading" icon, where the wheel spins and spins endlessly. Since a lot of NCBI is not just reading articles but actually using their databases, there is nothing to "log in" to and no reason anyone would want to use this extension. Since I can't turn off the annoying logo showing up everywhere associated with NCBI, I can no longer use this. This used to be a very simple extension that just simplified the credential log-in process, but now it just feels like it has been re-tooled into a way to try and convince you to use Endnote's other services. I will be removing this extension and just logging myself in from now on until I can find something that does what this used to and nothing more when I didn't ask it to.

Doesn't sync to my Endnote Desktop, and I have to disable it for chrome to function well, as most other reviews have mentioned. Needs to be fixed.
