British English Dictionary (Marco Pinto)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I just want to say thank you for the effort you put into making this the best and most up-to-date British English dictionary.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.27). 

1-click Online Document View

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The underlying concept is good enough.Click on a pdf, doc, ppt, etc and it opens in Google Docs. So far so good.The problem arises when one wants to save a document instead of viewing it.It turns out that it is totally impossible to do so! You'll have to copy the link and take out the relevant portion!What a pain!Plus, the description displayed for the add-on in the Add-ons window is plainly too long. 66 words! SMH. It's totally unheard of! The description should be a one-liner but this add-on gives a whole paragraph!! I mean, did I get something wrong?

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3). 

DownThemAll!

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

This extension is okay for general downloads. I however have just two issues with it.
1. Regular download managers add additional sections when a section is done but this one doesn't.
2. The extension requires we use MinTrayR, another extension written by the author in order to minimize to the tray. This does not allow users to choose which extension they prefer to use for such purpose. Whatever happened to giving the user flexibility and choice?

And for the reference, the minimize to tray extension I use is MinimizeToTray Plus. I've got the author's MinTrayR but it is incompatible and it keeps getting disabled.

I believe these issues should be fixed in the next release otherwise we're much better off using stand-alone download managers.
