  other methods to trigger Tab-Flipping are required; click the extension icon or
  type a shortcut  (to customize, see Instructions below; also provided during install)
* All extensions cannot prevent other extensions from altering tab-related activity;
  to resolve any issues, see test Instructions below

* If any concerns: Read the extension code. Use the source, Luke.
