Review Summary
Users appreciate the extension's ability to detect a wide range of phone number formats and its ease of use. It integrates well with calling apps when properly configured and works even within editable fields. However, many users report problems with certain number formats, false positives, and breaking changes from recent updates impacting dialing functionality and app compatibility. Limited configuration options and minor UI annoyances also affect user experience. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a helpful tool for linking and dialing phone numbers from the browser.
Pros
- Effectively detects and links phone numbers in many formats, including international variants.
- Simple and easy to use with a toolbar icon for quick enabling/disabling.
- Works well with various calling applications like Microsoft Teams and Bria when configured correctly.
- Long-term reliable as noted by users who have employed it for years.
- Solves the problem of detecting phone numbers even within editable fields lacking standard tel markup.
Cons
- Fails to recognize phone numbers with certain formatting styles such as dots separating digits (e.g., 413.412.1245) or special characters common in European numbers.
- Incorrectly flags non-phone number strings as phone numbers, including postal addresses and video timestamps.
- Recent updates caused issues like broken innerHTML code, malfunctioning dial pad entries, and compatibility problems with apps like UC-ONE and Skype.
- The extension lacks flexibility with protocol options and number format configurations, limiting usability with some dialing applications.
- Display issues such as overly large or distracting icons and inconsistent icon behavior (e.g., red X icon that disappears after multiple clicks).
