- (2025-09-12) David Lin: Works great, exactly what I needed to keep a web-based security camera monitoring portal on top. Occasionally requires a restart, and usually needs resetting when my computer wakes up from sleep, but not a big issue.

- (2025-02-12) Salima Hafurova: I've never left a google chrome store review but this is exactly the kind of feature I was searching for in my Mac. This is great for ALL university and college students because you can have PDF doc of your textbook open, and if you don't understand a passage you can quickly copy and paste, to search the subject you are struggling to get the concept of. This is about to improve my GPA by a longshot, some textbooks use such technical jargon I don't understand what is even being discussed. I love that when I click a document or open another tab the window remains open as a waiting assistant ready to help you with open arms. Thank you so much for the developer! Thank you, thank you!
- (2025-02-04) Marc-Olivier Poissant: Really useful extension!
