Nathan Alan (ID: 00000044e89341d2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/31/2023 I wish you had more reviews. I run heavy in my chrome applications, and I have scripts running that sometimes I guess Chrome can't handle, such as running out of memory with 128 GB of ram with 90GB free is out of memory to chrome. Anyways. 5 stars - I have this plugin on all my computers. I was going to make one, until I saw you made it - Glad you did! :)
