L'aggiunta da menù contestuale con click destro non funziona, non aggiunge nessuna pagina e il contatore non rileva alcuna pagina, assente la funzione "seleziona tutto", "rimuovi tutto" e non è possibile aprire tutti o selezionati links. Adding from the context menu with right click does not work, it does not add any pages and the counter does not detect any pages, the "select all", "remove all" function is absent and it is not possible to open all or selected links.

It works only if you click on the extension and click the button to add a tab. Otherwise the right click option or the shortcut are not working.

Thank you for the developer! I love it that I can clear one tab under read pate instead of all. I wish I knew about this extension a long time ago!
