I like your options page! But take a look at this other counter extension for an idea as to how you can give us the feature of tracking multiple counters without multiple instances. It's a feature I need: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tally-counter/innllipkgdpgnnhmbhjfminingfjmlgl

love having an ever-present way to keep a tally. would request the option to have multiple instances of the counter, so multiple counts can be kept at the same time, with their own button shortcut.
