Reposting cause previous problem still presists, details below: In Aug 2023 I said the following "When it tries to re-authorize it brings up a new window every 20s or so and does not stop generating these windows" The response I got was "I haven't released a new version for a while so i'd say that wasn't part of anything new from me" And in Oct I reported the problem again via email and was told to check if I was on 4.2.1 (current version at the time, which I was) so I removed the extension. I put the ext back a few months later in Jan and things have been fine since until I get home today to chrome force stopping an app and I had 250 windows open. Its on the latest version. I only use this extension, shazam and ublock. Its not an interference thing as the issues of last year it was the only extension installed and no problems until today. The only other thing I can say is that I never had to do a re-auth until today from my reinstall back in Jan, before it was a monthly thing, about ready to give up on this extension
