Works well for recording test cases BUT causes repeated freezes in chromium based MS Edge on some websites. For example: https://www.diy.com/ I've tried 2 separate instances and each time, disabling the extension immediately rectifies the problem. I'll still use it but for now it has default state of disabled in my browsers.

In the current version, if it is unable to bubble itself to become window.top. It will cause an infinite loop and freeze your tab.

Works ok, even though the test playback isn't so fast. But the UI mostly only respond after doing something 2 times. e.g. renaming a test: first click nothing happens, second click the name input box opens.
