User reviews

The perfect extension ever to exist if you're an avid fanfic reader on AO3. Saved me so much of trouble in downloading fics and now filters work as well so it's even better! Whoever you are, you're an absolute lifesaver!

Now seems to be working perfectly again! Previous Review: Up until yesterday the extension was almost perfect for what it is supposed to do. THe only issue I sometimes have with it is sometimes it doesn't clear the previous links out, so it will attempt to redownload the old links with the new ones (and succeed if the type was changed). However, yesterday it completely stopped working, saying "To use this extension, visit a tag index or author work list on Archive of Our Own.", even though I am on a tag result page like always. If it starts working again, I plan to bump my review back up to five stars, because even with the link error it deserves it.
