It does not work at all.

After I installed this app from Chrome web store, I initially doubted whether it really works or not. I even failed to make use of it as I am not aware of this app. Now after understanding it, I am using this extension. How to use it: For example, If we want to type the formula of Ozone, Type O then _ key and 3 then click "enter" button, you will get the formula of Ozone.
