This extension has been a game changer for me. In fact, I'm considering looking for it on GitHub (if it's there; if not, I'll package it) to add a couple of features that would make it even more perfect. Feature 1: Site-Specific Filters I’m becoming increasingly conscious of the many extensions I have installed and the potential for malicious or intrusive code. A filter that disables the extension on specific sites, like banking websites, would address these concerns. This feature could also improve performance, which, while not an issue on my desktop, could benefit my laptop. Feature 2: Extension-Specific Activation Using the same filter concept, I’d like the ability to select which extensions run only on the sites that need them. This would prevent extensions from interfering with each other and improve performance and security. I understand that the API presents some challenges in implementing these features, as it only allows an inconvenient subset of extensions to be turned on or off automatically. However, I believe that with determination, it can be done. I also considered adding scheduling capabilities, though I can't recall the specific use case for this feature at the moment.

This used to work great, but now often I'll disable extensions and try to turn them back on, but they won't, requiring manual re-enabling on the Manage Extensions tab.

Recently extension seems to have become malicious. Page redirects when searching. Uninstalling or disabling extension resolved the issue. Coincidence?
