It works only half of the time. It seems that some buffer doesn't get cleared between page refreshes and I get "ghost" logs from previous logging, or it doesn't work at all. Also, the infamous "Headers too big" error, where it doesn't even try show at least part of the messages. Looking for a new extension, or enough time to write my own. Stay away from it
