Description from store
When viewing an article or a list of references in the browser, click the Mendeley Web Importer icon in the toolbar. The extension will analyse the page and retrieve metadata like title, authors, etc. and PDF full texts (where available) for you to add to your Mendeley library.
Get a Mendeley account at https://www.mendeley.com/ where you can save, read and cite the articles you import with the extension. You will also receive 2GB of free storage space.

- Don't know why the ratings are so low and reviews so bad. It works perfectly for me both here and on Microsoft Edge. References also show up in Mendeley Cite now without my having to refresh.

- How can you review something that doesn't work well enough to allow you to review it? I click on the extension from Chrome, a fresh install, and nothing happens. No menu, no options, no luck.

- Bro i swear to you, please please PLEASEE FIX YOUR EXTENSION. I NEED TO USE IT FOR MY REPORT. It takes a millennia to load or not even detect a page at all. Why make such an extension if you guys are too lazy to make it WORK.

- It doesn't download PDFs, it take forever to load, it automatically signs me in to my institutional login every time I login to a Elsevier journal, booting me out of my personal account (I have to clear my cookies in order to log back in to my proper account with all my old references and notes every. single. time.). How can it be this bugged?

- Finally, after a couple of months of outage of not importing PDF files, the Mendeley Web Importer works. I have to agree with the other reviewersm that since they switched to Mendeley Reference Manager and their cloud system, the quality has been getting worse and worse!

- A month ago or more, it stopped importing PDF files. Now, Mendeley Web Importer is no longer able to import any information. Since they switched to Mendeley Reference Manager and their cloud system, the quality has been getting worse and worse! I can't give them zero stars, but they deserve it. I hope they improve or we will all migrate to Zotero or other systems.

- Doesn't work. If it helps, I'm now using this good alternative Mendeley Referencer: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mendeley-referencer/ebiepbbkmobnjbjoipacaafpmhkfbjhb?hl=en

- Has not worked for uploading PDFs, its best function, in weeks. A fix is urgently needed as what is the point in having a reference manager if it doesn't have the PDFs?!?

- doesn't download pdfs

- If I could choose 0 stars, I would do it. Totally wasted. Terrible plugin. It log-ins for 1000 years (in good case!). I don't really know how Elsevier, big company, created so terrible program. Web importer even worse than Mendeley, which works in 50% of times I need it (maybe less). I want to work on my document, and not spend hours checking what's wrong with Mendeley.
