A wonderful tool. I will give it a full rating. I have tried many of them, but this is the best so far. I hope in the future we can add colors according to our taste.

I was using this extension for school and copy/pasting notes because the highlighter feature did not work. After reading the 34 pages and pasting the notes and clicking save, I thought everything was good. I came back later to write my paper and incorporate my notes but all of the saved notes were gone. Very disappointing.
