Stupidly tiny non resizable window = only reason above 1 star is some manager literally waste as much space as possible, meanwhile this piece of junk could show 3X the information if it simply expanded to the screen height. Also no clear indication what is on or off = must 'know' by 'color' = silly, & infinitely worse than stuff like 'SimpleExtManager' ~> https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/simpleextmanager/kniehgiejgnnpgojkdhhjbgbllnfkfdk

Almost perfect. Wish I could combine this with SimpleExtManager. Needs search and group filtering.
