Good, but it makes a lot of sites cease to function. IMGUR for example doesn't let you go to your image gallery if you have this extension enabled, and a couple of other sites that use Google or other OAuth login methods also do not function with this addon enabled. Unfortunately, you cannot whitelist certain pages to avoid that behaviour. Alas, I had to disable it entirely as it simply breaks too many functions and webpages.
