It always bugs me every single time if I open any YouTube videos with this extension, it literally pops up more than one window... It also makes the matters worse if one of them has it's own issues where I can't close or move it either way. I have no idea about why these bugs are still going, even if I tried to remove and install it back, it obviously doesn't even work (which forces me to close the whole tab in order to close it entirely)...
