| 2024-10-13 |  | | en | I´ve been using your extension for many months, on Edge, with a fair amount of success. Over the last 2-3 months or so, right click on the page to Save as shorcut works fine some times, but some other times, it requires a second action to have anything downloaded to my desktop. As such, I´ve lost multiple shorcuts when I wasn´t aware enough to detect it hadn´t actually downloaded anything at all. This didn´t happen like 6 months ago, when it was 100% reliable. I can deal with that, but the extended file names is what totally killed it, for me. Amazon, for example, includes super long file names on their products. As such, and when I tried to move those links from my primary drive to an external unit, I found myself with a "Name too long" or something like that, which required me to edit every single link generated by your extension, to something that actually fits in. "Save In" extension does not have this problem, since it includes a Truncate option, which allows us to specifiy the max numbers of characters we want for our shorcuts, therefore completely avoiding the aforementioned problem. I would highly suggest you do implement this simple option, because after experiencing that royal PITA with Amazon, using your extension for that purpose is completely out of the picture. Thanks for you understanding. |

| 2024-10-03 |  | | en | Probably I'm the guy who use this extension the more often on the Earth, even on the Universe. The last time, it's work "bad" on Microsoft Edge, save link all time on "download" name. But today ALL work good like before. So thanks a lot. Sorry, I'm not a rich guy to give you $100.00 or more money. If a day I win to the lottery I will give you something guaranteed to 100%. But the probability of this happening is the same as finding an honest politician on this planet one day. So 0%. Thanks a lot for the WONDERFUL extension. I use it on Edge and Chrome. Have happy day and more, good health all your life ! |
| 2024-09-11 |  | | en | As said before, files are now named "download" since some weeks, while they automaticaly got webpage name before and it was just perfect...Besides that, great extension, very useful |
| 2024-08-23 |  | | en | The "Shortcut file type: Windows (.URL)" option no longer works on Microsoft Edge. We still have a file named "download". We have to manually rename it and add the .URL extension to it. However, not so long ago, this extension with this option worked perfectly. Strangely enough, on Google Chrome, there is no problem and everything works fine. Hope this bug will be repair soon. Thanks. |
| 2024-08-16 |  | | ru | Крайне полезное расширение для yandex browser хромиума. Там удалили дефолтную возможность на пк перетаскиванием кнопки-ярлыка слева адресной строки создать ярлык на рабочем столе и тп в проводнике винды, или открыть этот адрес в другом браузере. Противные разрабы. Удалили топ функцию. что многие пользуют, ну или спрятали её ппц как неудобно и далеко. |

| 2024-01-24 |  | | en | Exactly what I was looking for. |
| 2023-12-29 |  | | en | I've used this extension for quite a long time and I've never had a problem. What I find most useful is the "Save all tabs" option that allows me to make a zipped collection of the many (dozens, sometime) open pages on a specific subject, allowing for a "booklet" of different websites about it. "Save all bookmarks" is also nice, allowing me to often backup, quickly and effortlessy, all my bookmarks and having them with me on an USB just in a couple of seconds as a zipped URL folder, way faster and more convenient than the export/import original solution |
