## Review summary

Most reviews say the extension is non-functional on Firefox and appears abandoned, with no updates for years. Several users note it fails to work, sometimes explicitly on recent Firefox versions like 134.0.2. A common complaint is that it requires Google Chrome or depends on Chrome components, making it unsuitable for Firefox users. Overall, the add-on seems poorly maintained and not reliable, with mixed sentiment; at least one comment is positive but isolated.
