en Takes up 20+% of my CPU power and I have an I9-13900K. Locks up my PC whenever I try to add something to the whitelist. Fix this broken extension!!

Would be better if the popup for determining whether to allow/deny/temporary allow a site's scripts to run wouldn't be mostly obfuscated by the url bar, making it impossible to make a selection.

I can't believe how useless this extension is. It really is useless. Does nothing.

I like it, but it has a serious problem with freezing up some known good websites, without the ability to allow them on the spot. I'd rather not go into the settings each time to whitelist them.
