this is a pretty good extension! it works really well, but a problem i noticed is that it doesn't load all comments. on a video, i have 413 comments but the extension only managed to load 380. any fix?

The extension isn't working on my 2015 mac version 10.13.6 for me at all. The icon is not even showing up. Could my mac info be the reason?
