- (2020-12-30) Suchi Kaushik: Love this tool - really useful to help create context on new subjects and further inform on things I know a little about. In an era of misinformation and bias, Thinkrs has been a great way to bridge gaps in my knowledge. Absolutely rate this extension and recommend it to anyone who's looking to take a more informed approach to their news reading!
- (2020-10-29) Pim Ruhe: Cool little tool for context on articles you're reading! I know I need this contextual information but it's just too much hassle to do the research yourself every time you're reading something, which makes this time and hassle-saving tool is super valuable!
