Evelyn Ramirez, 2025-03-04The citations are rarely ever correct, even when attempting to cite from official documents on government websites which should be easily identifiable. It used to be reasonably reliable when citing articles from well-known publications like NYT or HRW but it has become completely useless at this point. Today I tried to use this plugin on more than a half dozen articles and it did not identify an author correctly on a single one of them. Uninstalling.
