- (2022-07-25) Riia Jarvenpaa: This is really valuable project, huge respect for the people behind it. The usability of the extension could of course be better, like all of the internet. This is an open source project and people interested about the transparency of the science can contribute by donating the project money or their expertise.
- (2022-04-05) Tomas Fiers: PubPeer seems like a good project and I fully agree with the idea of open comments. This browser extension works well, but is often a bit annoying: the PubPeer bar at the top of the page appears only after the page has loaded, which causes the page contents to suddenly shift down. This could be fixed by having another indicator (maybe a small fixed-pos sidebar like Scite or Hypothesis do). Another problem is mentioned by Balázs Knakker below: The PubPeer bar appears and says "There are 2 articles on this page with PubPeer comments" (neither of those comments were particularly enlightening or relevant to article I was quickly checking out). This makes the high saliency of the PubPeer bar not worth it.
- (2021-09-25) Ben Prytherch: Works great. I use it all the time. PubPeer is a vitally important tool for holding the practice of science to the ideals of science.
- (2021-06-24) Richard Seglenieks: Seems to be working great! Displays notifications on PubMed, journal websites and search engines. Can click through from the notification to the PubPeer page. Thanks
- (2021-06-24) 劉well: nice
- (2020-12-11) R. M.: Random pop-ups on non-pubpeer pages are unacceptable. (got pop-up idk about what on google.com)
- (2020-04-03) John Lu: When using PubMed, the displayed article is another article, which is not accurate enough
- (2019-12-18) Balázs Knakker: I love and highly appreciate PubPeer, but I find the way the extension works annoying and misguided. In particular, I am not interested in whether cited or linked papers on a page have comments on PubPeer or not. Really, never. I think it would make a lot more sense to just show the top bar if the currently viewed paper has comments on pubpeer. Perhaps comments of linked papers could get a little number in the app's icon, or just could be left out altogether.

- (2018-05-07) Danny Garside: Lovely idea. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. At all. Will keep installed, and update review if anything changes.
- (2017-01-28) Za. Z.: I was waiting for such a extension for long time. It works on many websites. I don't have any noticeable delay since I added this extension (cf John Flournoy comment). Too bad, the comment section isn't open to everyone.
- (2017-01-27) Maxence Alex: Excellent idea but seems to be useless since : - you can't create anonymous account * - the only scientist that are allowed to post are the one who have published something *. (As everybody knows publishing is a sign of knowledge honesty and wisdom) * "All first and last authors of articles in our database can create an account." A simple flagging system, would have suffice to ban spammers and others low quality comments.

- (2016-10-03) John Flournoy: Very handy and convenient! One con: the api seems to take a long time to respond recently, which freezes pages for 30-60s. This may be idiosyncratic to my system, admittedly.
- (2016-01-29) druid manus: if there is comment a little yellow bar showsup, if there are no comment you will not see the bar showing up... simple and working....
