This extension is ridiculously buggy - I cannot log in half of the time. It is not able to download the pdfs either, even if the papers are published by Elsevier who happen to also own Mendeley. I have been using Mendeley for years, but I think now is the time to finally switch to Zotero. It seems like nobody at Mendeley is even remotely interested in fixing the app.

Was amazing and used it for years, but now can't even open it anymore for months. Switched to Zotero.

Really is very bad! Works maybe <5% of the time. Mostly cannot sign in. Has been like this for some time. Obviously Mendeley is not interested in fixing the bugs.

This is a terrible extension which never seem to work the way you expect it to. I wish I never started using Mendeley.

Used to work perfectly, but lately the plugin simply won't open half of the time. It appears to open a pop-up to get me to a login page but then closes. Afterwards it simply does nothing untill I either remove and reinstall the plugin or fully restart my computer.
