Rated 1 out of 5
by emmadaiou28, 6 years agoI use Diigo mainly for simple bookmarking and tagging functions. The 'redesign' of the extension has made it nearly unusable even for that, and the add-on seems broken at times.
1) The sidebar was the most useful thing about it, and that's now gone. The only way to access bookmarks is to actually go to the website, making the add-on largely pointless (for my purposes) other than as a shortcut to create or edit bookmarks.
2) Just now, I had to bookmark and tag the same page FOUR TIMES, because every time I clicked 'save' it brought up a pop-up ad about upgrading to a paid Diigo feature (a feature unrelated to what I was currently doing, fyi). When I dismissed the pop-up, it obviously canceled the bookmark save function along with it each time. (This was using the keyboard shortcut to save a bookmark. I ultimately had to do it by selecting the function from the toolbar icon menu instead, which did not prompt the pop-up upon saving.)
3) When a page is bookmarked, a little bar shows in the top right corner with (theoretically) tools for annotation and whatnot. Only most of the time that bar is completely blank (broken). There is no way to dismiss it, but it often ends up blocking important parts of a webpage (such as a logout link).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cody, 16 days agoI've used Diigo for years and transfered to a new computer. I had trouble logging in and saving. These are the steps I took:
1) Logged in at diigo.com
2) Downloaded through diigo.com link
3) Disabled enhanced tracking protection (unfortunately, the extension wouldn't work without doing this) - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12248567, a month agoI paid for premium. My tags aren't showing up in the tag management area. I've made multiple attempts to contact the company. The web app indicates I'm supposed to have premium support. I also tried on Twitter/X. Since the boomarklet says to rate the app, I'm posting here to see if they finally respond to me. I'll give it two stars because it's got so much potential, but this total un-responsiveness to paying customers is weird.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13997624, 8 months agoAn all around good application to store and retrieve web sites and bookmarks. If you can find a better bookmark organizer buy it.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13790394, 2 years agoNo longer works in latest version of Firefox: doesn't load my tags or my outliners. This is now useless to me as my main browser is Firefox.
