Review Summary
Super-Cache is praised for speeding up browsing, enhancing site performance, and providing useful caching controls for developers. However, users frequently report compatibility issues with modern Chrome versions and a need for updates. Common problems include an invisible extension icon in dark themes, a non-intuitive interface, limited caching options, and crashes during Google searches. Overall, while it offers notable performance benefits, the extension requires improvements for broader usability and stability.
