Love this extension so much! It's such a treat as a cinephile to look up who's in a scene. I will say though that it's not been working as of late, but I hope that work can continue in the extension.

It was amazing... Unfortunately it stopped working on Chrome around Apr 2022 Netflix's "Report A Problem" Flag is placed exactly over the Lens Button, hiding it completely - and even blocking the flag with an ad blocker doesn't help - it seems to block both or nothing at all :(

It's not working right now :(
