reading time in minutes rather than just hours (or fractions thereof)

Display time

Could you make a display time feature? I don't like how it stays around on the page forever. There are times when I am on a page for a while and then look on the page where I have the time estimate pop up and I want to see what is under the estimate. It would be nice if it would go away after a set time.

Feedback - show time in chrome extension bar instead of widget?

Thanks for building this tool, I found it quite useful! :)
The only downside is that the widget sometimes blocks buttons on some websites, and it can't be moved easily. Maybe it would help to give the option to show the time in the chrome extensions bar (so not on the website itself)? Or give the option to click on the extension symbol and have it show the time there? That would be helpful :)

Disappear after x seconds

Makes it easier than having to click close every time!

Thanks :)

Exclude reading time from Webpage selection

Problem: Copying the content of a Webpage or a raw file (e.g., json) via CMD+A (Win: CTRL+A) also copies the reading time. Example:

0:03 hrs
{"message":"I wanna get rid of the `< a min`"}

Should be easy to implement with the `user-select` css property: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/826782/how-to-disable-text-selection-highlighting

Expected side effects: none. At least I think no one wants to copy the readying time (would be also cumbersome with onHover "Close" label).

Enhancements

Whitelist pages to prevent activity on those pages

Prevents youtube links from working, can't navigate in youtube

Could have on/off similar to the extension Dark Mode where the extension can be toggled

Latest Chrome on Win/Mac and Youtube links

This extension breaks links on the homepage of Youtube using Chrome Win/Mac.

The error is "Visibility monitor is not attached" in desktop_polymer.js:5346

Enable this extension, visit http://www.youtube.com and click in any links, they all are inactive and don't load.

Seems to break youtube functionality somehow

After youtube changed their layout, having this plugin enabled seems to break the responsivness of youtube. If you go on a channel for example and click any tab, it will not load. Disabling the extension seems to work for me.

Does it work with The New Yorker?

I've been using this widget for a week and it seems to work perfect in every page except The New Yorker.

The widget doesn't show up when reading a TNY article. Any comments on this? Just curious

toggle

It would be great to be able to easily toggle it on and off. Maybe by right clicking the widget then selecting to turn it off or on. I realize the extension can be enabled and disabled via Chrome extension settings, but it's a few more clicks to do so.
