Extension summary
Allows you to bookmark a site and have that bookmark update as you browse, e.g. as you read through a blog or ebook.
The unfilled starburst shows when you visit any bookmarked site. Clicking it turns on following/updating and fills the starburst yellow (just like the bookmark star), clicking again, or closing the tab, turns it off.
While following is enabled the starburst will flash twice each time the bookmark is updated.
The following/updating behaviour is not persistent, you need to enable it each time you return to the bookmarked site.
KNOWN BUG: The regular bookmark star will not show filled yellow even though the page is bookmarked (See screenshot). If you know how to fix this without forcing a page reload, please email me.
As always, refresh relevant pages after updating.
New in v0.4: Added workaround for http://crbug.com/86449 that was causing a critical failure.
