User reviews

Buggy - it does not update after changing tags nor return the correct tags searched for. C# gives C questions for example. Also it should not require `tabs` permission which allows the extension to log all user history which is an obvious security issue.

Please update it.

It's useful as a simple button to click when you want to see if there are any new posts available. However the notifications are obnoxious. Yes there is a button to turn notifications off but it does NOT work.
