its a highly useful, productive extension but not having a cloud data saving option makes it highly unreliable, can't use it on multiple devices. one you start using it you're stuck with the data you've put in it, you can't access it anywhere its store offline which makes it good for basic use but not for professional use. It is very risky. I accidently deleted my chrome profile and all the data store on this extension was lost with it, I've lost so much that I hate this extension now. I doubt using it again without auto cloud data saving option

Malheureusement ne garde pas en mémoire les annotations ni surlignages lorsque la page internet est fermée. Du coup strictement aucun intérêt, dommage parce que c'était très simple à utiliser et pratique.
