Review Summary
Users appreciate Lightning Autofill for automating repetitive form tasks and saving time. It is generally reliable and easy to use within its execution limits. However, many complain that the free version's limit of 10 autofills per day is too restrictive, pushing users towards the relatively expensive paid version. Additionally, some find the UI complicated and report occasional autofill failures. Recent updates requiring Google login and migration to MV3 have also frustrated users, leading some to uninstall despite previous satisfaction.

Cons
- Free version limits usage to 10 autofill executions per day, which many users find insufficient and frustrating.
- Pricing for the paid version is considered high, especially for users outside the US.
- The extension sometimes fails to autofill correctly or fields are not saved properly.
