User reviews

Users appreciate the OMG! Ubuntu! Chrome extension for its practicality and convenience in delivering up-to-date news from the OMG! Ubuntu! site. It simplifies access to preferred content and serves both casual and power users. However, multiple users note issues such as logo links directing to the wrong site and the lack of in-extension article reading ability, which requires opening new tabs to read full content. There is also a request for a "Continue Reading" link in notifications to improve user experience.
