I think it is good but the close button on the pop-up does NOT work!

The extension has a good and intuitive interface and it's very simple to use. One suggestion I would like to give is to allow us to quickly estimate the reading time of the current page by clicking on the extension's icon (See here for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkI_joxwfZI). Right now I have to do Ctrl+A > Right click > Estimate read time. Thanks.

The new update is nice, but there are a few bugs with the new update. It doesn't update when it already has a read time in its cache. I have to press "estimate read time" twice now on each page to see the updated read time for that page. Thanks for the great extension.
