User reviews

The Shimeji Browser Extension is praised for its cute and nostalgic characters and entertainment value. However, users commonly express frustration with the limitation to only two active characters, a smaller character selection compared to mobile versions, and occasional bugs or crashes. Requests for more popular character packs and improved animations are frequent. Some users also want more control over character spawning and behavior, while others are disappointed by forced content or new requirements like signing up to change appearances.

Pros

The extension features adorable and fun characters, including popular ones like Klee, Miku, Sonic, Dream SMP, and Hetalia, which users enjoy.
It provides entertainment and nostalgic value by allowing users to interact with animated characters on their browser.
The extension is generally recommended and liked for its cute, interactive nature and ability to keep users entertained.

Cons

Users are limited to having only 2 Shimeji characters active at a time and wish for the ability to have more simultaneously.
There is a lack of variety and quantity in character choices compared to the mobile version, with many users requesting more characters and popular franchises be added.
The extension sometimes crashes or has bugs, such as not working on some tabs, characters not performing certain actions like sitting, or features that existed before being removed or requiring signup.
Mixed quality in character animation assets—some are PNGs instead of animated sprites—which affects the consistency and appeal.
Certain content like behavior or character actions (e.g., ship-related animations) can be uncomfortable or unwanted for some users.
