| 2024-08-22 |  | | en | I am not downloading the extension, so this isn't exactly a review of it but rather the process; the reason I'm not downloading is that I've been warned that it is not being supported because it doesn't follow Chrome best practices, as well as the mixed reviews I'm seeing from those who have. Why wouldn't it follow best practices? Presumably these are there for consumer protection, or at least not harmful. Any other ideas? |
| 2024-08-01 |  | | en | "This document will not be uploaded to the RECAP Archive because the extension has detected that this page may return a combined PDF and consistently splitting these files in a proper manner is not possible for now." Split it improperly then, please. Or don't bother splitting it. Preventing your adoring public from using your excellent service for such a silly reason make you look like you've switched sides :-( |
| 2024-06-18 |  | | en | One of the best and most helpful extensions out there. If everyone used it, it would help save all of us money. Be careful because depending on which download link you click, it can't be uploaded. |

| 2023-04-14 |  | | I am a big fan. It helps save $$$ on Pacer and when using my quarterly credits I believe it to be helpful to others. Thank you for the generous work you all do in maintaining Courtlistener. | |

| 2023-01-27 |  | | A must for any PACER user! This extension works great and is lightweight (doesn't slow down Chrome). It makes it easier to get PACER documents and I love it (and the Free Law Project)! |
