Broken for some reason after months of use. Only broke after I logged out yesterday, not sure why. Now even when I uninstall and log back in and reinstall its still broken. The site just redirects to about:blank and refreshes over and over and over.

Don't let this die out. I'd like to see an update for this, get it working again. No sense of reddit winning.
