User reviews

I had to remove it after the extension started launching its page every time my chrome restart and asking for money

新版本“主题”不如旧版。缺陷：主题颜色无法“覆盖”浏览器的颜色设置（如 DarkReader）。即：会受到DarkReader的影响，导致主题颜色无法呈现、失去意义（×）。而旧版是不影响的（√）。强烈建议：【主题】恢复到旧版，或可以独立不受DarkReader等其他颜色插件影响。

I was very happy with this extension, until yesterday's update, February 25. Without warning, the export of read text is now reserved for users of the paid version... The only free export possible is now in txt format or in the website Pocket...
