Excellent extension. I love that it supports more than 50 languages. One observation: Smart quotes work if one word needs to be between quotation marks, but it does not work when I need to put a phrase or a whole sentence between quote. In such cases, only the closing quotation mark changes to a smart quote; the first quotation mark remains a straight quote. |

Excellent job, it also works with Opera browser!! Changes all my quotes to curly quotes, which is exactly what I've always wanted on desktop but could only get on Apple mobile by default. So happy as now my tweets/posts look so much more aesthetically pleasing. |
