en I'm a new user to this extension and it works great. It didn't ask for my browser history like other reviews state. I'm so ecstatic to use this, thank you so much.

My most beloved extension is no longer thanks to a goodreads update. Thank you for the years of wonderful reading...and the ability to snag new releases right as my libraries got them. You will be missed, Available Reads!

Extension used to work great. Then it broke when Goodreads updated its UI layout. Now the extension is updated and it wants my entire browsing history!!! Nu-uhh! Uninstall.

It was great but has changed to requiring the permission to read my browser history. Sounds hacky to me.
