## Review summary

Users praise the addon for Firefox-integrated viewing/editing and cross-device sync, plus ease of use. However, reliability issues with syncing and privacy concerns about broad permissions are the most recurring drawbacks. Some also feel it adds little value beyond embedding keep.google.com in a sidebar.

### Pros

- View and edit Google Keep notes from within Firefox, enabling in-browser access.
- Syncs notes with mobile apps and other devices (tablet, phone, Kindle), supporting cross-device access.
- Easy to use and convenient integration for keeping notes without leaving the browser.

### Cons

- Not working reliably for some users; reports of syncing failures or blank spaces in the sidebar.
- Broad permissions raise privacy concerns (data access for all websites, downloads, tabs), with recommendations to limit exposure or use Keep directly in the browser.
