Seems to have issues with Bing web pages, where you click on a Bing web page link and fails to load with this extension enabled.
So if you have already downloaded this extension, then disable it until Google fixes it! Otherwise don't bother downloading it, till they fix it, as it could potentially affect other web pages.
