Funny all the errors it gives even though (and I praise HP for this) how frequently it seems to be updated. -- 'webRequestBlocking' requires manifest version of 2 or lower. -- 'externally_connectable' specifies neither 'matches' nor 'ids'; nothing will be able to connect -- Cannot load extension with file or directory name _metadata. Filenames starting with "_" are reserved for use by the system. -- Third-party cookie will be blocked. Learn more in the Issues tab.
