- Rated 4 out of 5by JoesDadU, 3 years agoMany features similar to DuoStrength add-on in Firefox. In general, I like DuoStrength better, with 2 exceptions. (1) DuoLingo Boost does have night mode (Duolingo still refuses to let their website be controlled by our standard non-add-on browser preferences), so that's cool. (2) DuoLingo boost doesn't slow down your initial duolingo.com lessons page load by 3 seconds, like DuoStrength does. (Not a biggie, but I'm shooting for a balanced comparison, here.)

- Rated 4 out of 5by PERCE-NEIGE, 6 years agoThis extension is very interesting, but it doesnt take into account the language course I practicing, I don't know how to switch the courses from the extension, as it doesn't switch automatically to the current one.
It would be interesting to have other functionalities too, the one that have been removed by Duolingo (for instance, vocabulary). I'd like a vocabulary and expression saver (personal dictionary of expression), or something like Readlang, integrated with Duolingo, or something like the immersion feature.Developer response
posted 6 years agoThank you for your feedback! As for switching the current course, Duolingo Boost does it "automatically", however data are refreshed only once in 5 minutes, therefore it may take a while before you see the actual data like your current course. I know this it not an optimal solution and I'm thinking about how to make it more responsive without making too many requests to Duolingo servers.
Personal dictionary seems like an interesting feature, I'll look into it. Meanwhile, there already is a feature called "custom lesson notes" which allows you to write your custom notes in every "tips" section (in the sidebar). - Rated 4 out of 5by Kenin, 7 years ago
