Exactly what I needed. It works. I am using Opera GX but it's chromium based so Chrome extensions work in Opera GX too. I can save notes for any specific website. it does just the thing it said. Excellent. Even if you don't think you need it, You probably do. What I like the best about this is that I can sync this to Google Drive. Text barely takes any data.

hey @KempTastic, you're looking real silly about now (likely the norm for somebody so emotional), good solid app - everybody please disregard the 1 star review that frankly should be removed. Please report it future web surfer if you still see it - let's not scare away all the extension devs. We all play a role.

It is failing again, without any errors and the valuable notes are getting lost instantly!! I request you to please do through testing, in all varieties of domains, sites, etc. and confirm. Just today, I tried to save some notes on this domain (https://topmate.io/), and got lost within seconds! I don't understand its rocket science here. Just store it in the local storage first, display later, and sync further. All other hacks (reset, reinstall, resync) not working.
