Removing the extension from your browser also means that this data is removed.\n\n### How do I request an RapidAPI key for Bionic Reading API?\n\nDocumentation of using RapidAPI can be found [here](https://docs.rapidapi.com/docs/consumer-quick-start-guide).\n\n## Web browser support\n\n| [\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alrra/browser-logos/master/src/brave/brave_48x48.png\" alt=\"Brave\" width=\"28px\" /\u003e](https://brave.com)\u003c/br\u003eBrave     | [\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alrra/browser-logos/master/src/chrome/chrome_48x48.png\" alt=\"Chrome\" width=\"24px\" /\u003e](https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/chrome/)\u003c/br\u003eChrome | [\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alrra/browser-logos/master/src/edge/edge_48x48.png\" alt=\"Edge\" width=\"24px\" height=\"24px\" /\u003e](https://www.microsoft.com/edge)\u003c/br\u003eEdge           |\n|-----------|--------|----------------|\n| V1.38.119 | V101.0.4951.67 | V101.0.1210.53 |\n\n## Improvements\n\n- [ ] Add styling to extensions HTML pages,\n- [ ] Use a pop-up for the API response, rather than opening in a new tab,\n- [ ] Better error handling, e.g. inform the user if they have reached their request limit for the day.\n- [ ] Tidy-up the code :sweat_smile:\n\n## Disclaimer\n\nThis project is not affiliated with Bionic Reading (BR®).
