Simple, with data i want to see. Great job!

I have a Chromebook with a Intel Core i3-1125G4 CPU which is a quad core cpu with Hyper-threading. However, this extension is displaying the temperature for 6 cores. I think the developer has a temperature related software bug that needs to be fixed for this CPU. I would expect to see the temperature displayed for 4 cores.

Love that you can see CPU usage just in the icon, all that you can see how the user AND Kernel use the CPU.
