This is such a huge upgrade in comparison to Mendeley's original extension, which goes thourhg log-in process every time you want to add a new PDF to your library and that only works half of the time and requires the page to be refreshed in order to work properly. In contrast this extension works every time and the experience is hundred times smoother and faster. There are still some things that could be improved, such as that your folders do not show up properly in the extension window. The visible list is really short and you can only see two folders at a time. Also the subfolders are listed as normal folders so if you have subfolders with the same name in different folders you won't be able to know which one is which The fact that you can only save PDFs that are opened in Chrome's own PDF viewer does not really bother me but can be problematic for some people.
