Thank you for the great extension, working perfectly on my end

JP, 2024-11-30

for some reason after the last update the first time I use it nothing happens I have to right click select etc. again for anything to happen, it also seems every time it updates it loses my settings but that not a big issue as it is SUPER easy to import the old settings I'm SO glad that is something the Dev thought about before they updated. I just don't know why it is taking 2 queries to work as I love this extension this is the first thing that bothers me

Used it for a long time and was happy with it. Now it updates all the time and the settings are lost. What happened?
