Excellent idea but seems to be useless since :
- you can't create anonymous account *

- the only scientist that are allowed to post are the one who have published something *. (As everybody knows publishing is a sign of knowledge honesty and wisdom)

* "All first and last authors of articles in our database can create an account."

A simple flagging system, would have suffice to ban spammers and others low quality comments.

Very handy and convenient!

One con: the api seems to take a long time to respond recently, which freezes pages for 30-60s. This may be idiosyncratic to my system, admittedly.

Injects Jquery in many sites, like in Gmail, wants too many permissions :(

This is really valuable project, huge respect for the people behind it.

The usability of the extension could of course be better, like all of the internet. This is an open source project and people interested about the transparency of the science can contribute by donating the project money or their expertise.

PubPeer seems like a good project and I fully agree with the idea of open comments.

This browser extension works well, but is often a bit annoying: the PubPeer bar at the top of the page appears only after the page has loaded, which causes the page contents to suddenly shift down. This could be fixed by having another indicator (maybe a small fixed-pos sidebar like Scite or Hypothesis do).

Another problem is mentioned by Balázs Knakker below: The PubPeer bar appears and says "There are 2 articles on this page with PubPeer comments" (neither of those comments were particularly enlightening or relevant to article I was quickly checking out). This makes the high saliency of the PubPeer bar not worth it.

Works great. I use it all the time. PubPeer is a vitally important tool for holding the practice of science to the ideals of science.

Seems to be working great! Displays notifications on PubMed, journal websites and search engines. Can click through from the notification to the PubPeer page. Thanks
