Doesn't work

jordan brant, 2024-12-17

It works well but the browser uses a lot more memory whenever the extension is on

Miguel, 2024-12-13

Works when it's on but keeps turning off. If I have to keep toggling the setting on then it's not that useful, since as the other comment notes, when it's working you don't know it's there. Maybe it's not *supposed* to turn off on its own. But I very carefully checked earlier this week that it was on and removing the AI summary, I haven't opened it since, and today the summaries are back and the toggle is off.
