Nice extension! I installed the full version, but I have no idea what the speaker icon do. Would you mind to explain a little bit more?

I think it just mutes reporting on that extension.

I'm a little puzzled why we only get the speaker icon, yet the screenshots all show the blocking options.

speaker is for muting the alerts so they don't show red badge for that extension

the chrome store version only has blocking. if you install it from github you get all the other options

I'm installed from github, I only see the speakers

interesting, are you sure you got the latest from the main branch? that looks like an old version

It says 1.0 in the extensions manager, but it was downloaded fresh this evening by clicking on the 'ZIP' link in your readme.md on here:

https://github.com/dnakov/little-rat/tree/main

edit, aha, downloaded the .zip manually rather than via the link, and it has the other icons now, I guess the 'ZIP' link pointing at archive/refs/main results in an older version

ahh thanks, i'll update the link
