Completely unusable for me: cratered the response time on my app -- what used to take 1-2 seconds to load now took 25 seconds. Multiple page-wait displays from chrome and high CPU usage.

This extension causes death loop in React app.

I like the concept of the extension. However, it severely degrades the performance of Google Chrome. When I try to access Slack, for example, the web page freezes completely.
