[NOT ACTUALLY 1/5 STARS] One of my favorite Chrome extensions, but randomly stopped working for me recently. Removing and reinstalling it does nothing, and it says it's up-to-date. I'm leaving a 1/5 in hopes that the developer will see this and get it fixed, and then I'd be more than willing to change my rating to a 5/5
