- I like this new tab notes a lot. Very easy to write down quick ideas, todos, any time, and access them in any new tab. One annoying thing is I often hit Ctrl+S as a habit, and Chrome always opens the save file as dialog, which is not needed but very annoying. Can this default behavior be disabled? Thank you in advance.

- Borut Markelj
- Love the extension! It's incredibly user-friendly. Simple yet effective.
- Logan Phillips
- After testing this for a few days, I just need to say - it is great! Not every day that you find such a high-quality extension, but it's obvious a lot of work went into this. The shortcuts work great, typing is fast, and adjusting the zoom is just perfect (it even works with the keyboard). I would love to download my notes as a PDF, but exporting to html is also fine. Any plans to turn this into a standalone editor?
- Josep Boncompe Moya
- markdown doesn't work smoothly. Also, would be nice to be able to increase the horizontal margins to "center" the content

- This notepad extension is so well made, it syncs up with your browser so you can dive right into typing without creating an account. Plus, you can fancy up your text with rich text formats. It's like having a stylish notebook that follows you everywhere, and you can even toggle between dark and light themes.
