MA Hye (ID: 000000a6da394c3b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/24/2023 Implementation isn't great. For example, go to the Daily Mail website and look at the sidebar with the extension turned on - all the spacing and formatting is messed up. Needs to distinguish between different text types - paragraphs and sections inside a text body vs headers.
