This extension does not work automatically after installation. You have to find the "Usage" instructions in the Overview to configure it. The configuration is simple and this extension works perfectly. I can finally use the browser-based terminal application without constantly closing the browser tab.

Although it works, when I want to reset Ctrl W to close tabs, I can't reset it anymore. Users should be warned that the changes cannot be undo!
