Hasn't worked since Dec 11, 2024. I emailed the developer about it, but he hasn't responded yet. Hopefully it will get fixed soon. And if it can't be fixed, update the extension description to say it no longer works and remove the extension from the Chrome Web Store.

It stopped working recently and instead just gets stuck in an about:blank loop. But I'm giving an extra star because it was good until this bug happened.
