Doesn't work ("VM1096:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined at <anonymous>:1:1") and that's after I wasted time on the project's github page trying to find very basic instructions on how to use his script.

I love this extension but it's not working anymore. Problem is wzrd.in I think. I have to remove it and find a better option.

Would you pls update it? Throws 'Refused to connect to 'https://wzrd.in/bundle/d3@latest/' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "connect-src 'self' uploads.github.com... '
