Summary

Changelog: -1.9: Removed "tabs" permission (otherwise known as "all browsing data"). This did remove the functionality to verify only 1 settings page was open, but I felt the peace of mind from not requiring the permission anymore was worth it. -1.7: All new settings page, thanks to @SoulExpression, and some backend to some interesting settings coming up. -1.6: Everything is back to normal, except userIDs will no longer be shown by default, as they are no longer transmitted by default. -1.5: Imgur did some huge rework on how the code is written, so I had to rip out everything except for the loading icon changing bit. sorry. should be working properly in about a week or so. -1.4.3: I fixed some long-standing bugs (I couldn't fix them before as they were complex issues I didn't quite understand. I'm learning this as I go). The only errors that should be there are from problems out of my control (the settings not loading is a common one). Resizing the loading icons is currently disabled until I figure out why it's broken -1.4.2: y'know how the last changelog made it look like I did check everything? nope. streamlined the code a LOT more now (and it shouldn't spit out thousands of errors now, because I hooked an event to a function that indirectly fires the event, and yeah...) made the settings page display the version you're running, and it should actually work a bit more predictably now -1.4.1:
