Loved this, but it now interferes with some websites working. Don't use it!

Since the last update, this plugin loads the page twice every time. That causes trouble on login pages that create login tokens for user session (on every page load). A new page reload will generate a new login token for a current user session while the user still has the first token on the loaded page. When a user tries to submit a login, it will send the first token from the loaded HTML form, and that token is not valid anymore since the second page reload (made by this plugin) generated a new token. The problem is in content.js on line 37. let resp = await fetch(window.location.href, {method: "HEAD"});

You have 3 because it used to be good. But is time to update it. It blocks a lot of things. Not safe to use.
