Recent reviews
I've been using Diigo for a few years and until recently it was working quite well. Recently, I've started facing sync issues, whereby the extension takes a while to start syncing (the "loading" phase takes several minutes sometimes) and I've had several situations where I'd annotate a long article only to lose all my notes and have to start from scratch. To make things worse, I've written to Diigo several times before (they have a feedback form so they practically invite feedback) - and not once have I received any feedback from them to my queries or complaints (including about this). Unfortunately there are not many extensions that can do quite the same that Diigo does but the only reason I have not replaced it yet is because I have no way of transferring years of annotations to another platform. Definitely not the treatment I expect for a paying customer.

Einloggen funktioniert nicht. Bei allen anderen Erweiterungen, die ich installiert habe funktioniert es. Also werde ich für Diigo nicht extra nach eveeeeeentuellen Fehlern in meiner Konfiguration suchen. Für mich nicht brauchbar.
