User reviews

MUA Web Unicode Converter is highly valued by Myanmar users for effectively converting Zawgyi fonts to Unicode, solving a critical language display issue. However, users report performance problems such as browser lag and instability, especially on certain browsers like Edge and Brave. The extension relies on Manifest v2, which may soon cause compatibility issues in Chrome. Occasional need for reloads to restore functionality is reported, and some sites like Facebook might not display converted fonts properly. Despite these drawbacks, users appreciate its overall usefulness and the developers’ efforts.
