Don't waste our time: Please state in the Chrome web store description, and at the top, that this extension can only be used for 30 minutes without a subscription of at least $8 per month. An overlay button with tools is added to the rendering of all pages, and there is no option to remove it. This also slows down the rendering time when browsing.
