This version is a major re-write. I've tried to address and fix all previously reported bugs/problems (including the "Extension data is still loading..." issue). I hope many of you users will find the time to install and test this new version. I would really appreciate any and all feedback.
If you encounter any problems, please leave a post here in this thread.
