Cons
Inconsistent functionality; works only 1/3 - 1/2 of the time
May mess up the order of recipe steps

Can require multiple refreshes or long waits for detection
I want to like it because the idea is great, but the extension works 1/3 - 1/2 of the time and requires either waiting for a while or multiple refreshes of the page before it finally detects the recipe, and I mean sometimes that takes upwards to a minute. I'm of course not talking about cases where the page format simply isn't compatible with the extension but ones where the the extension eventually detects the recipe. Not a great user experience, especially since you can't save the recipe before the popup shows up. If the extension wants to do its work before the content is fully loaded and it may cause glitches then there should be a way to activate the extension on demand/hotkey.
Other issues:
- sometimes the extension messes up the steps in a recipe, e.g. the order is messed up (step 1, then step 3) or you have e.g. two #1 steps. Hasn't caused me any issues yet, seems like the bug is mostly visual, but it still makes me double check every recipe at which point there's no point using the extension if I can't trust the popup.
- the nutrition values available in the recipe aren't included in the popup.
