Review Summary

Furiganator is highly praised for its usefulness in learning Japanese, simple usage, and good furigana display including a hover feature. However, multiple reviews mention technical issues where injected CSS class 'hidden' clashes with website code, breaking navigation and hiding elements. Users also desire an easier toggle option and note occasional misreading or double furigana. These pros and cons highlight the extension's effectiveness for learners tempered by compatibility and usability challenges.

Pros

  • Helps learners of Japanese by providing furigana efficiently.
  • Simple and easy to use with just a button to toggle the feature.
  • Hover-show function for furigana is convenient and not visually cluttering.
  • High accuracy and good display effects consistent with original text style.
  • Widely appreciated by users learning Japanese as very helpful and necessary.

Cons

  • Injects CSS with a generic 'hidden' class that conflicts with websites using the same class, breaking navigation bars or hiding elements.
  • Causes breaking or malfunction of some websites' navigation or images.
  • No toggle on/off feature within the page; users must click extension icon every time to activate.
  • Sometimes misreads words or adds double furigana where websites already have it.
  • Automatically applies furigana to all Chinese characters, which can be problematic for mixed content pages.
