Uso faz um tempo, e recomendo. O melhor!!!!

I love using this extension and have never had any problems with it. However when I was on my extension page to get rid of another extension today, I saw the following message in reference to Ficlab: "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." What's happened? Will you be releasing an updated version?

It worked great until I started getting this message: "Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'textContent')" whenever I tried saving a story. Any recommendations on how to fix?
