User reviews

Not working? Says, "can't read and change data on this site", no matter what page I'm on. I even have it set as my Default Search Engine and it still saying the same thing. Stays in a constant state of grayed out, likes it not turned on or something, in my extension drop down tab, and says can't read and change data on this site.
