It would be nice if this extension can open local file or viewing html from visual studio code live server.

Purtroppo non funziona con i servizi Google, sembra avere problemi di autenticazione

Amazing plugin but something with the cookies seems to be wrong. I am in the European Union and each time I load a website (for example Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT etc.) I get this annoying cookie banner where I allow all cookies but when I reload it pops up again. This is especially weird as I am logged in to the sites and I remain logged in.. Could you please check if you can fix something about the cookies? I tried other Sidebar plugins (which I didn't like as much) where this issue doesn't exist. I happily adjust my rating to 5 stars after that is fixed. Thank you and appreciate.
