v1.2.2
Bug Fix
- Fixed UI placement issue: The blocking info was appearing horizontally beside profile content on some profiles instead of below it. This occurred when the "Followed by" row wasn't present and the extension fell back to finding the followers count element.

v1.2.1 - Improved Navigation Detection
Fix: Improved navigation detection for profile picture clicks
Changes:
- Detect clicks on images (avatars) and profile-related elements
- Add URL polling fallback (500ms) to catch any missed navigation events
- Check URL at multiple intervals after clicks (50ms, 150ms, 300ms)
- Add extra injection checks after History API changes
This release fixes the issue where clicking profile pictures on the timeline would not reliably trigger the blocking info injection.
