User reviews

Users appreciate Fuze for Chrome's ease of scheduling and managing meetings directly from the calendar, with automatic updates and simple joining options. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues: the extension persistently reinstalls even after removal, causes website breakage due to broad permissions and CSS conflicts, and sometimes fails to synchronize meetings correctly with the Fuze app, especially when account emails differ. These problems detract from the otherwise simple and useful meeting scheduling experience.

Pros

Easy to install and use for scheduling Fuze meetings via Chrome calendar.
Automatically updates meetings when rescheduled in calendar.
Simplifies joining and managing Fuze meetings from the browser.

Cons

Extension keeps reinstalling or persisting even after removal, causing user frustration.
The extension's permission to read and change data on all websites causes issues and breaks websites.
CSS injection uses generic selectors like .tooltip, causing style conflicts and webpage loading problems.
The extension sometimes fails to sync meetings properly with the Fuze app, especially when calendar and app emails differ.

As a developer this extension gives me headaches with some regularity. It would be great if there was an attribute, or property we could use to indicate that the values inside the tag should be ignored by the extension because they are not phone numbers.

We had Fuze a few years ago, and long after installing it, this extension keeps coming back even though I've disabled and removed Fuze entirely. I removed it from the PC using their "FuzeClean" tool, and it still persists. I removed Chrome entirely and wiped all of my user data and when I start Chrome clean, the first thing that pops up is that Fuze was added. No policies or anything that would push this. It's just a leftover from the software being installed that I can't get rid of.

Causes issues all the time. For instance the new setting "Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites you visit:" is messing up a ton of sites that I visit. Why is this new feature defaulted to all sites?
