Fair enough. The extension throws an error in line 136. Seems like my
type checking needs some improvement love. Will check soon (the
extension auto-updates, so no worries with that [this auto-update
feature and the easy install process you mentioned: all credits to our
Chromium team]).

All good feedback. This is a 0.0.1 release, so quite some room for
improvements. I chose the iframe in order to have a clean CSS
environment, where as few as possible from the main page's CSS would
influence my triples box. The iframe will behave somewhat less
intrusive in future releases, I promise (and was already annoyed
myself by the current behavior). Again, this is a "release early,
release often" attitude here :-)

Thanks again :-)

Best,
