Pro: Display the contents of the humans.txt file on clicking the extension button in the address bar. Feature Request: change the icon color, depending on the currently visited site having a humans.txt file or not (would be really handy) Bug (Chrome Version 90.0.4430.93 (Offizieller Build) (x86_64)): Visiting any site with HTTP-Authentication will close the Login dialogue on page load (which makes it impossible to enter whatever credentials for the site). I had to uninstall the extension due to this behaviour.

Suddenly even if it detects human.txt, often it is active for short time, than it's, as it didn't see the file, inactive.

Great little plugin, would be great if it uses the <link rel="author" > if it's on the page. Sometimes it's not possible to put it at root.
