Updates:

v 1.8.0: Migrated the extension to use Chrome Manifest V3 for improved security and better compatibility with Google Chrome. Added a list of all user owned cloudflare zones for the current API key on the options page.

v 1.7.0: Added the ability to have multiple Cloudflare tokens and select between different profiles. Fixed a bug with the domain parsing logic. Special thanks to the active members of the community for their great feedback.

v1.6.0: Rewrote the whole extension using the latest ECMA script 7 APIs. The extension executes code in a non-blocking manner. Refreshed the UI with a new design. The next version (1.6.1) will support the long awaited CloudFlare restricted API keys. Stay tuned.
