Review Summary

Users appreciate Auto Furigana for effectively adding romaji to all Japanese text, including live chats, which aids learning and reading comprehension. The highlighting function is also praised. However, many users dislike that it uses romaji instead of true furigana (hiragana/katakana), find translation popups hard to read due to poor color contrast, and desire options to toggle script types. Some report issues with the extension's functionality, including formatting problems and instances where it doesn't work.

Pros

  • Effectively adds romaji to Japanese text including kanji, aiding comprehension.
  • Works well in various contexts including live stream chats.
  • Helps users learn and read Japanese more easily on different websites.
  • Highlighting function is appreciated by users.
  • Functions as intended and is considered perfect by some users for language learning.

Cons

  • The extension uses romaji instead of true furigana/ruby (hiragana/katakana), which many users find less helpful and less aesthetic.
  • Translation popups have poor readability due to white text on white or similar color backgrounds, making hover translations unreadable.
  • Lacks an option to display hiragana/katakana instead of romaji, which users prefer for reading.
  • Issues with generated Japanese text formatting, such as one word per line in certain contexts (e.g., ChatGPT).
  • Some users report the extension not working at all.
