User reviews

Good random number extension in concept, re: using the QRNG api. However, the UI is unusable: * too small, cannot even see the 3 input fields * cannot resize the UI * does not persist (remember) the last used set of inputs The UI is just a very small/tiny pop-out box from the extensions area. Ideally, either pop out with a new window or open a new tab; either would then have a usable UI. If the extension is updated, I may update my review. Until then, meh.

Very cool! I wish there was a way to increase the size of the window so I didn't have to scroll to see all of the input fields. I also wish that the generator would remember which numbers I used last so I didn't have to keep retyping the parameters in every time. Bonus points if it remembers the numbers uses last AND generates a random number from that range when you click the extension icon. That would make it top-notch.

Would love it if it saves the settings. I'd love using it for min. of 1000 and max 9999 but after every refresh it is back to the 1 state.
