  • (2023-09-09) Charles Meyerson: Love this. Have used it for years, but only recently has it stopped smartening quotes as I type ’em. (I have to manually invoke the extension.) Wondering what’s changed and whether there’s a way to restore “live” smartening.
  • (2022-06-02) Andrew P.: This would be great... but it doesn't seem to be working! I think that Blogger must no longer support this extension, since when I click on the icon, nothing changes.
  • (2021-01-15) Russ Campbell: Does not seem to work on Google's Blogger editor, so what's the point of offering it?
  • (2020-08-09) John Bainbridge: This is great but it's soon not going to be! I'm finding that it only works on my "Legacy" version of Google's Blogger. On the updated version this extension is not working. ARE THERE PLANS TO UPDATE THIS FEATURE FOR THE NEW BLOGGER INTERFACE?
  • (2014-11-13) Wonderful! Works perfectly.
  • (2013-07-04) Kacper Rucinski: Brilliant, just what is needed for English-language editing. However, the biggest drawback is lack of customisation option for other languages / quotation traditions: those that use „...”, «...», and others. - that is, the majority of world languages.
  • (2012-08-14) Chris V: Works great, Google should add this as a default quote. Well done.
  • (2012-07-12) Joshua Christensen: The ability to use this extension in Gmail is huge, and fixes the one big drawback (for me) of composing messages through the web interface. Works exactly as advertised — fantastic.
  • (2012-05-25) Travis Washburn: This is so helpful. I really like it. Here's some feedback: * Could it do its job live—automatically making the switch instead of requiring the user to click it (I often forget to do it again at the end)? * Could it do it to post titles too? * Could it work throughout the browser—not just in Blogger? * If not in the whole browser, could it at least work in Google Docs too? * Could it handle converting this -- to this — as well? Just some thoughts. But not a criticism. It's great so far. You are awesome. Thanks for the sweet extension! (Oh, P.S., you might rename it "Curly Quotes" or "Smart Quotes" as those seem to be what they're commonly called and what people might search for.)
