User reviews

Scrible Extension is praised for its strong academic and research support features, making annotation and study easier. Users find it intuitive after a brief adjustment period and appreciate its ability to create custom learning resources. However, it requires account creation which some find inconvenient, and it has a learning curve for some. Users also desire broader language support and availability on more platforms like Android. Overall, it is considered a valuable tool for educational and research purposes.

Pros

Easy to use once the initial learning curve is overcome
Highly helpful for analyzing research materials and projects
Creates custom resources like textbooks in the user's library
Effective and useful for internet-based learning

Cons

Requires account creation to use, which some users find inconvenient
Initial learning curve for less tech-savvy users
Currently limited language support (e.g., lacks French interface)
Lack of availability on other platforms such as Android, desired by some users

I've been using Scrible for years with my students. Now, with the advent of OER textbooks, it's essential. It allows me to teach my students strong academic habits, such as annotating texts, and to check their progress. Plus, it makes a custom textbook for them in their Scrible library. Win-Win!!

It's a good tool to have, works well, I've been using it for my classes. Theres a bit of a learning curve in the beginning for people who aren't as computer savvy like me, but once you've got it, it's pretty good.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Scrible Extension requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
