Doesn't work for me. I get in the console: "VM12:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: AKAM is not defined"

Like others mentioned already - working like a charm. You just have to remember that the extension is to be found in the dev tools, where it indeed fits in perfectly. Awesome work - thank you!

Works great. @media queries where the rule is marked as critical by Chrome but not the query itself don't get exported. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars. I feel sad for the dev cause of all the 1 star ratings which only result from people not able to operate the plugin.
