Une excellente application;

I had a small issue a couple weeks ago where it stopped refreshing. Ended up I had to clear the local storage and then refresh the plugin. (Dev Tools -> Local Storage -> chrome-extension://foo) Bit of a PITA since Chrome only lets you clear the local storage one key at a time.
