User reviews

Users appreciate Simple Notes for its simplicity, ease of use, and helpful features like quick note-taking and search functionality. However, multiple reviews report serious issues such as notes being lost or deleted unexpectedly, freezing after adding many notes, and missing convenient options like resizing notes or changing font size. Lack of synchronization and integration with services like Google Keep is also a common downside. Despite these problems, many users find the extension effective and well-designed for simple note-taking needs.

Cons

Notes or data getting lost or deleted unexpectedly.
Lack of features like font size adjustment and note resizing/dragging.
Freezing or crashing after adding a certain number of notes.
No synchronization or integration with other services like Google Keep.
Limited functionality such as no support for sorting or copying links.

Recent reviews

Very useful little app. In these days where you have multiple webpages open it is handy to have one location to jot down relevant info. It is especially useful for webforms where you can inadvertently hit the back button and lose everything. With Simple Notes you type out what you want to say and then copy/paste into the box. Perfect.

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.

Simple Notes requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
