the problem is that they change the HTML elements every few days and it is a pain to keep up with it. I am in the middle of rewriting frictionless to use an external ruleset which will be updated, not requiring the extension to be updated.
you can see what we go through to get this to work consistently across loggedin/loggedout users, all the different apps (what you do wont work for all apps) and all the different use cases:
Edit: to add, i'd be more than happy to merge the efforts and we are definitely seeking contributors. would rather one extension that works all the time than two that don't. we have already put in a lot of time keeping this extension up-to-date since launch with all the changes and updates made by the social readers.
we took it down from the webstore temporarily so that we wouldn't be adding new users while the extension is in a state of flux. I will email you to work out how we can merge efforts - we have a plan for what we are going to implement in the new version. It would be good to have more eyes on the project and on the social reader keeping it updated.
Edit: just realized that I can't find your contact info. can you ping me on nikcub at gmail? I am also nikcub on GitHub - are you on there?
