clean mode and focus mode have always been buggy. 1) alt+c doesn't work. clean mode has to be turned on via menu. But then it can't be turned off at all, the only way left is to refresh the page and lost the coloring along with it. 2) focus mode sub-menu just flashes when clicked on and in menu it's always shown as "off".

it doesn't work on the website i downloaded it to use on. literally none of the pages on the entire website would load the beeline text, regardless of how much or little text is on the page. the website is a very simple HTML website, i'm not sure why the plug-in would have so much trouble with it. the website is politically-oriented so i'm suspicious maybe they just have it blacklisted.
