User reviews

Users love Backstory for helping them organize and remember their Facebook friends with personal notes, a feature lacking from Facebook itself. Many have searched for such a tool for a long time and find it invaluable. However, multiple reviews mention the lack of sync functionality leading to data loss after updates, and some technical issues such as the extension not fully working on Facebook profiles. Privacy concerns were also raised about the types of data collected by the extension.

Unique feature not provided by Facebook, appreciated by users.

Users find it very useful and have searched a long time for such an extension.
Good for remembering trivial or personal details about friends.

Cons

Lacks a syncing feature; data lost after Chrome updates.
Does not fully work on Facebook profiles as expected (missing functionality like profile box).
Privacy concerns due to the collection of sensitive information like passwords or credentials.
