  • (2022-11-26) SG Gardner: Exactly what I wanted for web-based text editors.
  • (2022-10-27) Agnetha Fältskog: I love this extension! I have to report an issue though. For some reason it has stopped working on the Archive Of Our Own website, which is where it's most helpful for me. I'm not sure why!
  • (2022-08-06) editrixian: very helpful indeed!!! saved me lots of time:)
  • (2022-07-13) Adam Potter: This is an amazing extension that works simply brilliantly. As someone who has obsessive-compulsive tendencies when it comes to mechanics like punctuation, I am so grateful for it! 😆 Recently, the extension stopped working on messenger.com and WhatsApp's web version. Will this hopefully be corrected in a forthcoming update?
  • (2022-06-11) Oğuz Kaan Aybak: Very cool application, however for my uses, I don't want the ... to be replaced. I'd love it if we could manually turn off the replacement of certain symbols.
  • (2022-03-18) Toni Mai: This has helped me in my writing so much! Thank you!
  • (2022-02-01) Franco Zearo: Excellent extension. I love that it supports more than 50 languages. One observation: Smart quotes work if one word needs to be between quotation marks, but it does not work when I need to put a phrase or a whole sentence between quote. In such cases, only the closing quotation mark changes to a smart quote; the first quotation mark remains a straight quote.
  • (2022-01-04) P. Henry A.: Excellent job, it also works with Opera browser!! Changes all my quotes to curly quotes, which is exactly what I've always wanted on desktop but could only get on Apple mobile by default. So happy as now my tweets/posts look so much more aesthetically pleasing.
  • (2021-01-15) Russ Campbell: Cannot get it to work with Blogspot/Blogger editor using Chrome & Windows 10.
  • (2021-01-06) Ariel Aguayo: Thank you for the extension.
  • (2020-02-07) Gracefolk: Sadly, doesn't work.
  • (2019-04-10) F'in Wit The S: I'm loving the idea (and even most of the execution!) *but* it doesn't fill the need I have, which is to replace straight to smart quotes in a Markdown editor -- for Ghost.io in this case, but it would apply anywhere -- but *only if not inside a code block* (between opening and closing ` or ```, in other words). Obviously you need single and double quotes to be unchanged in code. I know this would probably mean a dramatic change to the codebase, but please consider it for the future.
  • (2018-11-30) Chris Allen Moore: I so needed this extension. Thank you so much for this useful extension! It saves me a lot of work.
  • (2018-08-17) Jachym Michal: Great job, man! I mean, this is way more useful than any so called 'typographic' guidelines. It just works. Would give it six stars if I could. And make it a native part of Chrome.
  • (2018-03-11) Max Mustermann: Really useful extension, although it keeps forgetting settings for a small number of sites (Reddit comes to mind, you have to set it manually to your language every single time you visit any page on there). It would be great if there was a way to set the default language manually (like a global button) to make such issues less of a problem. Additionally, having the extension work with guillemets (as an alternative setting) would be great, as some languages use those as their primary smart quotes in machine written texts.
  • (2017-11-18) Michael G: Exactly what I was looking for and so well designed!
  • (2016-03-22) zamfofex: Brilliant! However, it doesn’t work with contenteditable elements. (i.e. YouTube comment box)
  • (2016-01-14) Steven Noble: Handy, but would be worth four stars if you could enable/disable it from an icon in the toolbar, and five stars if you could create whitelists and/or blacklists of sites that it did/didn't affect. Let me know if you add these features as I'd love to revise my rating.
  • (2015-10-27) Ayrton De Speville (aweBitz): I'm thrilled that this has has been added as an extension, especially due to the fact that it automatically changes the prefixes on whatever website I may be using, so a big cheers to that! Now, if only I could find a counterpart to affect the whole OS!
