2024-04-24 Adam Doesn't work on Edge version 124.0.2478.51 (Official build) (64-bit).

2024-04-21 周一輝 most of the times, it fails to add the reference to your library. On top of that, it is really slow to load everything.
2024-04-21 Imanol Con edge simplemente no funciona. Puedes probar a refrescar, pero se queda eternamente pensando. Lamentable.
2024-04-17 Mathew Hit and miss whether it does anything at all. MS Word now has a better built in function.
2024-04-15 Rune The idea is great, and when it works, it's awesome. But there are so many issues with this add-on: - I almost always have to click the extension and then reload the page and click the extension again for it to be ready to save the reference to my Mendeley account. - After saving a reference, I like to go through the list of other references found on the page to see if there are interesting articles among them. I can then check off the ones I want to save and click save again - perhaps choosing other collections to save them in. However, I often experience that the other references just aren't saved, and I just wasted my time and effort going through the list for other interesting references. So frustrating! - Sometimes, when saving the reference, the add-in reports back with a successful save. But when I switch to Mendeley, the reference never saved. I often find myself just downloading the pdf and manually importing it into Mendeley to be on the safe side, making the add-in useless.
2024-04-11 chandana I believe it make me more comfortable during referencing.
2024-04-11 Subramaniya What a garbage plugin. For a company with a revenue of 10 billion dollars, indeed, they can do better. I know it's a free product. But that doesn't excuse them from breaking a good working product like Mendeley desktop and making it ******. Now, this plugin, wow. I can't wait to switch to Zotero.
