It doesn't download PDFs, it take forever to load, it automatically signs me in to my institutional login every time I login to a Elsevier journal, booting me out of my personal account (I have to clear my cookies in order to log back in to my proper account with all my old references and notes every. single. time.). How can it be this bugged?

Finally, after a couple of months of outage of not importing PDF files, the Mendeley Web Importer works. I have to agree with the other reviewersm that since they switched to Mendeley Reference Manager and their cloud system, the quality has been getting worse and worse!

A month ago or more, it stopped importing PDF files. Now, Mendeley Web Importer is no longer able to import any information. Since they switched to Mendeley Reference Manager and their cloud system, the quality has been getting worse and worse! I can't give them zero stars, but they deserve it. I hope they improve or we will all migrate to Zotero or other systems.

Doesn't work. If it helps, I'm now using this good alternative Mendeley Referencer: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mendeley-referencer/ebiepbbkmobnjbjoipacaafpmhkfbjhb?hl=en

Has not worked for uploading PDFs, its best function, in weeks. A fix is urgently needed as what is the point in having a reference manager if it doesn't have the PDFs?!?

If I could choose 0 stars, I would do it. Totally wasted. Terrible plugin. It log-ins for 1000 years (in good case!). I don't really know how Elsevier, big company, created so terrible program. Web importer even worse than Mendeley, which works in 50% of times I need it (maybe less). I want to work on my document, and not spend hours checking what's wrong with Mendeley.
