it does what it says which i love, but i wish i didn't have to disable/enable the extension every time i restart the browser to make it work. Using Chrome on Windows 10.

This is really awesome when it works. But I've noticed if you click onto any other pages it will not work. I always have to refresh my video page to get it to work again. Happy to screen share to replicate/debug.
