The extension seems abandoned, and no longer works reliably, which is a shame. Here's the one I switched to: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bpojpijaddmjkblcbkhnhhgjecmfmgil

It gets the job done but in a frustrating manner. If I click on a playlist, let's say an 80-hour-long playlist, it shows me 30/40 hours or something. I just need to press F5 (to refresh), and then it shows me the correct playlist duration. I don't know why they don't show it correctly in the first place. I hope the developers can fix that.
