Please add settings to change "hrs" to "minutes". It can be a bit hard to understand the estimated reading time in such format for people that do not understand it and constantly checking the conversion is a waste of time that this extension is supposed to save.

I would very much like for this extension to work, but it does literally nothing. No time is displayed and clicking on the extension icon only allows me to change the settings.
