I use this with Chrome Yomichan extension and it works great. Has worked well since I first installed it over half a year ago. Thank you for the awesome add-on :)

Love this plugin.. We use it with Polar to sync flashcards form PDF books directly into Anki. You can read your PDFs and HTML content in Polar and create the flashcards there and then we use Anki Connect to transfer them to Anki.

Great add-on. One drawback that I don't know if it's the fault of Anki or the add-on:
I can't figure out how to make fields keep new line characters when sending them to Anki. Adding both \n and \r\n to the field doesn't result in Anki breaking the text up into lines.

Great app!

And I'm so happy that there's a firefox extension. I've always been using chrome since I assumed the more niche extensions would never make their way to firefox. But this is the only "killer" extension I need, and I didn't even check if it was on firefox lol.

Cheers for the good work.

Incredibly helpful addition by a very responsive dev

This is the add-on that's been keeping a bunch of Anki-related Google/Firefox ex

Not sure it the author would see it or not, but thank you for your work!
As a code-dummy,I don't know whether this is a beautifully written py. file or not, but sure to say that without it, a couple of Anki extension would be at great trouble.
