Wow, I used to use Papier all the time. I sort of forgot about it when I migrated from Chrome to Firefox and didn't really find a good alternative, but man that plugin was legitimately a huge part of my life for a while. I'm sad to heard it's going away, it was an absolutely genius idea

As developers have to support themselves in some way, would you be willing to use a similar ad-supported extension? Or perhaps pay a small amount to support development more directly and go ad-free?

Back when I started using it I probably would have considered ads, but I'm not sure if I would turn them on

Nowadays? I would probably have chucked $5 or $10 towards the dev.

Oh yeah, it's one of those pieces of software that goes out of your way and just does its assigned job so well that you literally forget about it.

I remember switching to a new computer at work and noticing something was weirdly missing without being able to put my finger on it. It wasn't until one of those moment where I used to use the extension that I noticed it wasn't yet installed on this machine.
