i actually kind of like the extension... but i'm trying to help the people who don't find it useful and have there schools force it on them. this might help bring the rating down just a bit.

This extension is fabulous providing you are a subscriber to Britannica. It provides 3 different reading levels for your students. Information is factual and also provides the "best of the Web"for the given subject.

Haven't found it useful at all.
Having it forced on my by my school doesn't exactly help my enjoyment either (I know that's not your fault).
Mainly just giving it a low review to bump down the overall and therefor lowering the chance of other schools force installing it on their student's computers.
