I can't get access to the footer because of the endless scrolling. Basically there's no way for me to access the Search box long enough to type something in. Is it possible to move the footer items to the top or somewhere else?

A few points: 1) There's a subtle difference between the white background of the extension and the border of the browser. We're talking just enough to notice but not enough to quickly see the contrast. I'd say make it completely the same or

Great idea and execution! The Go Pro option to autofill LinkedIn seems very odd. When a user is completing a crucial first step, such as filling out the necessary resume info, you should make that process as simple as possible, such as usin

I keep them up to date manually. Honestly, I update the resume page every 3-4 months so it's not too necessary to automate it yet. As they say, fake it till you make it.
