Places an unremovable ad for the extension's premium tier features over every fic you read, in the form of a crown button in the lower left corner of the screen. There's no option to remove it without paying up.

Thus, this extension is monetizing ao3 and ao3 authors' work, which is a terms of service violation, disrespectful, and at worst could risk drawing legal trouble for ao3 and the fanfiction community more broadly.

I don't mind too much that it has premium features in the first place, but placing an ad over ao3, and especially over the text of fan authors' works, without permission is absolutely too far.

Hi there. That is actually not true—you can completely hide the crown icon for free directly from its own popup. If you click on it, you will see a link at the very bottom that says "Hide Showcase Icon Permanently". No payment or premium subscription is required to remove it.

To clarify, this extension does not monetize AO3 or any author's work. It is a client-side tool built strictly to help readers organize their personal reading dashboard. The premium tier simply helps support the independent development and maintenance of the software itself. I highly respect the fanfic community, and the option to remove the icon is right there for any user who doesn't want to see it!
