- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20270940, 7 days agoYou absolutely must uninstall it straight away after the update!!! Data leech!!!
I’ve been using it for ages. It’s now collecting massive amounts of data that aren’t necessary. Why on earth would a text-to-speech service need to know which websites I usually visit? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16531945, 7 days agoI've been using this extension/add-on for a long time. It's had its ups and downs, but as of today after I was prompted to update it on mobile, it stopped working completely
- Rated 1 out of 5by Techman, 8 days agoMultiple permissions requests were added recently, with the most recent one being especially egregious. Requesting access to browsing history and personally identifiable information? No explanation. Website link does not link to source code to inspect the changes.
I am uninstalling. Too suspicious for me. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16527463, 2 months agoWORST voices ever! You can't listen to this! AND it's not free either now.

- Rated 1 out of 5by rift, 3 months agorandomly stutters, loads for a minute, then gives up.
skips the first ten words.
can't see short sentences unless highlighted.
worse than useless. - Rated 1 out of 5by sodar, 6 months agoI was having high hopes at first, but then I learned it doesn't let you use the different voices for TTS you may have installed on Windows, for example. I WANT TO LISTEN TO ANDREW'S VOICE DAMMIT (seriously, his TTS voice is really nice on the ears, you'll find it in Narrator settings as a "Natural" voice)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Zero, 7 months agoThis extension was great! I have problems seeing font on dark websites because there isn't a light mode toggle on some of them. So, I use to use this to read what was posted. However, I was going to use it again today, it now asks for permission for all open url data when before it just did what it was meant to do. No thank you to that. It'd be great if it returned back to what it originally did.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mel, 7 months agoThe voice volume was so low I could not understand what it was reading. It was so low because the voice sound was coming through my Mac Mini M4 built in speakers and I was about 15 feet distant. There is no apparent means of choosing where the sound output goes.

- Rated 1 out of 5by WingedFox, 9 months agoRouting you to the the Google TTS sales page and using the Demo box instead of hooking into the Google Cloud API is actually bananas. I can't believe that this thing still doesn't have proper voice fetching implementation after all these years.
- Rated 1 out of 5by RescuePaws, 9 months agoNot the best. Agree with other users that Edge is better for reading than this. Also I don't like that it automatically sets your setting to allow this developer access to ALL your data unless you change it but even then it piggies back off of google.translate. Also doesn't even read my full text book page just the title and then the page number. I don't like the reading in the extra window either. Idk why its a recommended extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Joshua Weiss, 10 months agoAppears to use translate.google.com to provide the service, and the new one on me is that extensions apparently can't block other extensions' requests, since umatrix, ublock, etc can be set to block google, and Rethink still shows FF making attempts. So, it basically reports your browsing to Google...that makes it intentionally spyware in my book. FF's own builtin "Read Aloud" will have to suffice atm.
