This extension is so painfully slow that it ends up wasting more of your time than if you hadn’t used it at all. Truly frustrating.

My browser just starts lagging and sometimes just hangs up when trying to use the extension. Unusable. Its a shame because i was looking forward to using it.

Horrible performance, causes every page to freeze up on initial page load.

Had to remove this extension from my browser because it slowed down my entire computer

I used to use this extension, but it now has horrible performance on Firefox. It sucks up all resources and freezes the entire browser when a page is loading. You know how normally when a page is loading, you can still click on other tabs and the browser will respond? Not with Simplify! I've seen faster browsing on a Core 2 Duo.

I know this extension used to work well. I think something changed in a recent update. Hopefully this is fixed soon, but I know firefox users are usually not a priority demographic.

The add-on is lagging my firefox (macbook m1)

This add-on has started lagging my browser (Ubuntu 22.04, FF Dev 131.0b8). It doesn't happen at first, and takes several hours before it appears, but each page reload will begin taking longer and longer before it's absolutely unbearable. Took some time to narrow down which extension was doing it, but of course - it's Simplify.

This is not the first time I've had issues with this extension, and I'm beginning to get a little annoyed! I forgot what happened originally since I'm re-posting a new review, but I do remember that they fixed it soon after my last review.

Please fix this soon, as I won't be running Copilot anymore until it is.

Original Review:

Good addon. Revising the review now that I'm finally using it more. The idea is really quite sound - and the execution is close to what I want. But it still has a lot of edge cases, and I think that's going to take the most time to figure out.

For example, it can identify that certain major job boards have an embedded field somewhere, but sometimes it fails or the embedded area is really small. I mostly want the extension to have that floating scrolling box to follow me around - but not just in that one embedded space. It would be nice to be able to quickly copy/paste out of that area, regardless of the size/position of that embedded space.
Also, if the job board isn't detected or supported - the manual copy paste feature doesn't appear at all. 30% of websites are like this. Simplify is a really cool idea - it just needs to be more generally applicable rather than trying to one-click 70% of job boards.

starts lagging browser

Eats up SOOOO much memory on Firefox with Workday applications. Freezes up the computer. Practically unusable

horrible for battery life on firefox but works flawlessly in chrome

Firefox 127.0.0/addon 2.0.16: While trying to fill the profile on *.myworkdayjobs.com sites, starts eating gigabytes of RAM and 100% cpu, very fast completely freezes PC, leading to hard reset. Idea is nice, implementation is subpar.

Looked promising but couldn't even get past the work experience screen. It also hijacked every single web page I had open with privacy terms and conditions. I never uninstalled an extension so fast.

Doesn't work at all. It says to login, but I'm already logged in.
