Could you provide a screenshot or screen recording that shows this and re-open the ticket? And if you can, please provide the actual versions for Wappalyzer and Chrome - this helps with debugging!

Happening to me on Chrome 86.0.4240.198 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Windows 10 Pro v20H2 Build 19042.610

Both disabled and enabled images below - as soon as the extension is reenabled this console error shows.

Looks like a few others have found disabling helps them too...https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54126343/how-to-fix-unchecked-runtime-lasterror-the-message-port-closed-before-a-respon#comment114568423_54614440
