CURRENT ISSUES ⚠️

• The plugin works on all pages, I've whitelisted only a few heavy pages for now will add a whitelist option in the future
• Not sure if the autoconvert feature works on pages that use iframe or frame tags
• The plugin also edits the inline code in StackOverflow, I'm working on a fix for this
• More testing is required to see how the nlp libraries work on different pages
