User reviews

Many users find QuillBot's web service useful for paraphrasing and related writing aids, praising its features and reasonable pricing. However, the Firefox add-on is non-functional, generating security errors, and it is clarified that there is no official Firefox extension yet. This has caused frustration, confusion, and concerns over scams. The extension appears abandoned and outdated, with users recommending removing it until an official version is released.
