Glenn Hefley 2022-01-12 Not thrilled. I came in using this as one thing -- mainly open source and functional. Now all of the function is being taken out, its going closed source and I feel like that was a lot of time I'm never getting back. So, hell, it was free right? .. well, no, not really., Because now I bave a ton of invested time into a structure that never cared about any of the promises or features the user desired. Hell, I'm not sure what they're making now.. maybe it will be fun. Hang around. See if the sun rises. I'm -- out.
Shubhamkar Ayare 2021-09-16 Seems pretty good; hoping to update to 5 stars if I don't run into any issues! A small feature I'd love is the ability to change highlight-colors globally or even great locally. Thanks!
Rob K 2021-01-29 originally reviewed as 5 stars, but they killed it. I have pretty severe memory issues, and this was great. it allowed me to find any page i had ever visited, as long as i had a general idea of what i wanted to find again, literally only needed to remember one word from the page, and it would be in the search. I also read a lot of articles about different things, and of course, i forget instantly. 6 months later, i'd think of something, and want to find that exact page again, this made it easy. they deleted that feature, it no longer indexes pages you visit. (this isnt a bug, they intentionally removed it), so this extension is now useless. all the 5 star reviews you see here are for a feature that no longer exists.
Minh Phan 2021-01-18 this is freaking incredible.
Andreas Hjarksson 2020-11-24 Hey guys, cool extension. Can I annotate PDFs? I tried it but doesn't seem to work for me.
V Keerthi Vikram 2020-11-17 I have been using memex from july of this year and it has had a huge improvement in workflow. It is a must have for any privacy enthusiast or a researcher.
William Kiely 2020-10-16 Memex removed the full text history search, which was the whole reason I used the app. Sadly I relied on Memex to retrieve certain information I had once browsed so now I have no way of finding these pages again.
Todd Carter 2020-09-29 Sadly, their plans for this extension abruptly shifted recently, so this no longer indexes pages you visit (history). It only searches bookmarked pages and your annotations. They also are primarily focusing on "collaborations," which I have no interest. I've been following the project for several years. While this was a good idea, it seems to take them forever to make progress. And when they do, like the excellent full-text searching of visited (but not bookmarked) pages, they actually make negative progress by changing direction. In the meantime, I've found a couple of other extensions that provide similar functionality, as far as displaying visited sites/gmails on the Google search results page, which is my main reason for using it. There's also a major danger here: This doesn't automatically back up your data to Google Drive unless you pay. So you need to remember to backup your data yourself regularly or you'll lose at least your annotations if you have a major crash.
Forever Sunny 2020-08-25 Could you suggest a way the annotations could be rearranged? I tried but all the annotations were saved in reverse order based on time which meant the last annotation in the article comes on top and thereon.This doesnt seem to make sense and renders it useless. Also, is there no way of changing the highlight colour which is too glaring and stress-inducing...
Jo Sprague 2020-02-28 I've been searching for this app for years. This is one of the most exciting projects I've found in a long time. Just installed, and everything is working great. Excited to make this a regular part of my workflow.
