Hello, this extension works perfectly for my needs. It even works every time you open a new window and properly focuses on the address bar, so thank you! I am currently on the free trial but would like to know exactly which features in the settings itself will still be free after the trial ends and which ones will be behind the paywall. I believe this is crucial to delineate in the extension Overview (maybe even in the screenshots themselves too) and indicate that in app purchases are most likely needed in the Details section below the Overview.
