Did not work at all. It also had a 80 free passes, used them but didn't translate even a single convo bubble

It's 80 free requests, but when I use it, the only thing it gives me is an overlay that says "Upgrade to premium to translate this image".

It is very good on single-page or infinite-scrolling manga sites (rawkuma).
For manga sites where you have to click the page in order to turn to the next page (nhentai) its translation overlay prevent the clicks from reaching the original image and so page turning stops working. Making the overlay have `pointer-events: none` css seems like a simple and obvious improvement, and I can even do it myself by adding custom css with tampermonkey or uBO but it's weird why they don't see it during QA and they don't fix it.
Another old bug they keep ignoring is when you move back to a previously translated page, either no translation is shown, or the wrong page's translations remain stuck and never disappear. Hiding and showing the translation with the E/Q hotkeys removes the wrong "stuck" translation, but does not show the correct one.
Another slightly annoying issue is when some texts partially overlap, you can not easily read the back one. They've made it so you have to click it to open it in a separate overlay so you can read it. Then that overlay can not be closed by a repeated click or by clicking on another text, only clicking its X closes it, but that may be off-screen in some cases. Instead of all that complication they could've just made translations raise to the front (high z-index) on mouse hover with simple CSS, or on click with JS.
Also not having a private contact option on their own site and relying on publicly visible extension store reviews for feedback is quite bad. No wonder most people don't dare complain about nhentai here. Still, it's a popular site on which they obviously should've QA-ed their stuff even without reports.
The 80 weekly translations quota is not enough except for very occasional use though. This can not be considered a free extension at all anymore.
