Bernát Gyovai (ID: 0000003b3b7f6bcc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/16/2023 I use Brave and it probably had an update, because suddenly in the last ~2 days when I open the extension's menu, it's only about 10px + scrollbar wide. I can't see anything in it as the text is all clipped. I used Unload Tab religiously with Brave for the last few years on all my PCs, could you please look into it?
