Recent reviews

Seems to be ok. One thing I have noticed is that Chrome is a huge memory hog. The newest updates for chrome seem to have killed most of their bugs. I have no doubt that more will come with the next update. This extension is not to blame. It just report, nothing else. It would be nice if there was a page that explained all the options and the difference between panel, bar, shelf.
