Please remove the console.log y'all left in there, thanks 😊

This is a great tool! But you really need to remove the console.log made in the varDump.js file of the Chrome Extension. It's in the chrome.runtime.sendMessage (action: "getAllOptions") callback first line: "console.log("response", response);"

Dear devs, Is it possible to remove the console.log made by var_masterpiece on page load ?
