Not working! No issues with the Drumpfinator, so why isn't this one working? (Definitely enabled! Tried closing/reopening Chrome and full reboot of PC, no luck.) EDIT: Huzzah! Working perfectly now!

outstanding.

Very good on news sites. Also use it to decipher non news websites like the Australian Electoral Commission voting instruction web pages.
