User reviews

Advanced Notepad is praised for its ease of use, multi-note support, cloud backup, and a simple, accessible interface. However, multiple users highlight missing features such as search functionality, dark mode, note reordering, and note titling. Backup functionality still has some reported issues. Overall, users find it helpful but wish for improvements in these key areas to enhance usability and organization.

Pros

Allows keeping track of multiple notes simultaneously with good organization.
Easy and quick to access from anywhere within Chrome, including a convenient popup interface.
Supports multiple notes with basic text formatting features.
Cloud backup option available for saving notes securely.
User interface is modern, simple, and easy to use.

Cons

Lacks a search function to find text within notes.
No option to reorder or drag-and-drop notes to change their order.
Absent dark mode feature, which many users desire.
Some users report issues with backup and restore features not working reliably.
No way to assign custom titles to notes, making organization difficult.

I used to rely on the old Notepad extension, which was great, but it got removed from Chrome. Advanced Notepad is the closest alternative in terms of features and ease of use. However, there are some missing features and issues: No search function, which is essential. No sync between devices, and the restore backup feature doesn’t work for me. No drag-and-drop option to rearrange notes. Since the old Notepad had 200K users, many are looking for a good replacement. If the developers fix these three issues, this extension has a big chance to go viral! For now, I’m giving it 2 stars, but if these are fixed, I’ll gladly update my rating to 5 stars.

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.

Advanced Notepad does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
