User reviews

Users appreciate the convenience of creating tasks directly from webpages with some pre-filled data. However, frequent issues include the extension failing to work properly, slow performance, and loss of features like custom fields and full metadata editing within the extension. Recent updates introduced unwanted behaviors and raised privacy concerns. Many users find themselves reverting to the web app due to these limitations, leading to significant frustration.

Pros

Allows quick creation of tasks from the current webpage or content
Pre-fills task information based on the open tab, aiding task creation
Supports adding tasks with context like URLs and selected text (when working)

Cons

Extension often fails to function properly; 'create task' button sometimes does nothing or shows loading indefinitely
Lack of access to full task metadata and custom fields within the extension, requiring users to visit Asana web app to fill details
Performance issues: very slow loading times and unresponsiveness reported
New update behavior is intrusive, such as default loading of URLs with webpage titles and the task creation window not closing automatically
Privacy concerns raised due to new permissions like browser history access without clear justification

Why does it no longer attach the email to a task when creating?

Please allow for a keyboard shortcut to create a task from anywhere!

An*****, 2025-03-27

Too bad the extension doesn't work as it should, the only thing that can be seen when the task has been created is the title, the rest of the email is not there

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.

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