| 2024-12-08 | Firefox user 15067929 | | This add-on caused Google and other sites to stop responding for long periods of time. For example, when performing a search, it would take about 10 seconds to respond. I also had to wait several seconds when posting to social media. I don't know the details, but disabling this add-on solved the problem. |

| 2024-09-24 | Firefox user 15589000 | | Text Link works, but can hang some websites. E.g., editing an issue on GitHub with a handful of links of various types resulted in the extension using 100% of my CPU per `about:performance`. The only solution was to disable the extension then kill the process manually. |

| 2023-01-26 | puni | | Would it be possible to hide the "Finding URIs in Selection... (100%)" text in the context menu? When I highlight text on a webpage with media in it and right-click, the context menu always appears, grows, then shrinks because the "Finding URI's" text always appears at the bottom for a split second. It's quite distracting/annoying. |
