The primary goal is to offer a constant visual cue of the player's progress status. If the bar appears too slim for your screen, head to the options page and tweak the height setting.

Very nicely made extension, I've modified it to update even faster(changed the fastest update limit to 50ms instead of 500ms) and no problem thus far.
