This has been working great for me up until Chrome 69. Now the extension randomly causes 100% CPU usage. Is the developer active?

Hey Geoff! Sorry for the long silence. I've updated the extension (after almost 8 years 🫣). I think the CPU usage spikes were due to a change in how Chrome works. I haven't used the extension myself for quite a while, so I never had this issue. If you want to give it a try again, I'd be glad for feedback. PS: sorry it took so long
