Requires way too much personal info in order to sign up for the Annotate.net account (mandatory to use the extension)! Why do you need to know my salutation, first name, last name, and birth date? For that reason, I AM OUT!!!

12 annotations on a free plan with a lackluster 1990s interface.

Thank you to the developers for their efforts
Can you add a few shortcuts to common functions? This is more convenient
