Exactly what I was looking for :) My only gripe is that the plugin doesn't kick in when you're viewing an html file from your local filesystem (ie, a `file://` url). It's such a useful tool that I'd like to be able to use it on local files too. A workaround is to start an HTTP server (`python -m SimpleHTTPServer`) and access the file via the server instead.

The only con is that the text is too small. Otherwise, it does everything you expect it to do.

Super great, minimally intrusive, ability to toggle on and off!
