Simplify Copilot – Autofill job applications by Simplify

by Firefox user 15278227, a year agoThis add-on has started lagging my browser (Ubuntu 22.04, FF Dev 131.0b8). It doesn't happen at first, and takes several hours before it appears, but each page reload will begin taking longer and longer before it's absolutely unbearable. Took some time to narrow down which extension was doing it, but of course - it's Simplify.
This is not the first time I've had issues with this extension, and I'm beginning to get a little annoyed! I forgot what happened originally since I'm re-posting a new review, but I do remember that they fixed it soon after my last review.
Please fix this soon, as I won't be running Copilot anymore until it is.
Original Review:
Good addon. Revising the review now that I'm finally using it more. The idea is really quite sound - and the execution is close to what I want. But it still has a lot of edge cases, and I think that's going to take the most time to figure out.
For example, it can identify that certain major job boards have an embedded field somewhere, but sometimes it fails or the embedded area is really small. I mostly want the extension to have that floating scrolling box to follow me around - but not just in that one embedded space. It would be nice to be able to quickly copy/paste out of that area, regardless of the size/position of that embedded space.
Also, if the job board isn't detected or supported - the manual copy paste feature doesn't appear at all. 30% of websites are like this. Simplify is a really cool idea - it just needs to be more generally applicable rather than trying to one-click 70% of job boards.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19508901, 2 months agoUnfortunately had to cancel my subscription since switching to the firefox version. It does not work with it being unable to get past the prompt for log in.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gcwan, 4 months agoThe extension can't connect to my profile and I keeps prompting for login but everytime I click login the website shows I'm logged in.
- Rated 1 out of 5by noahc, 4 months agoSo useful, but lags my computer to a complete stop. How can this be optimized to fill plaintext into job applications? It's already selling my data to advertisers, can they at least fix the resource hogging.
- Rated 1 out of 5by M Nastri, 4 months agoTried several different ways but Simplify just didn't connect to my profile. No other extensions were enabled on the browser, restarted browser and pc several times, tried re-logging into simplify to no avail... Complete waste of time
- Rated 5 out of 5by Tazmeen, 4 months agoSimplify is a smart extension that simplifies job listings, making it easier to find what matters at a glance.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Jason weng, 5 months agoThis extension is so painfully slow that it ends up wasting more of your time than if you hadn’t used it at all. Truly frustrating.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tyler, 5 months agoMy browser just starts lagging and sometimes just hangs up when trying to use the extension. Unusable. Its a shame because i was looking forward to using it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13866821, 9 months agoCS student here begging and pleading everyone on Earth for an internship. Simplify does actually make it easier. Autofill is almost always perfect and supports a wide variety of unorthodox questions and fields. Such a game changer

- Rated 2 out of 5by fazedoge, a year agoGreat when it works, but brings my entire Mac to a halt when opening any new tab, so I'm forced to constantly toggle it on and off, making it sometimes feel like it's more work than it's worth.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Hari, a year agoVery Helpful! In some applications it doesn't fill the drop down if a degree doesn't exist. i guess this is probably due to some missing degree in some of the ATS systems. But overall, this reduced me upto 5 mins per each application. Keep Improving and thanks

- Rated 5 out of 5by cfdude, a year agoSimplify has been the best aide in applying to jobs with consistency and tracking. It just works and offers great features like keyword analysis. This is hands-down the best tool and best website for finding and applying to jobs.
