HI guys! I created a Chrome extension that does just that in a click of a button: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fhmlmcbfjnegdoafmfcfmhpahfegdjlp?authuser=1&hl=en
I'd really appreciate it if you can give me your feedback after trying it. Any bugs, anything I can improve on it?
Brilliant. Are you going to put the code on Github so others can possibly contribute?

It would be great if you can leave me a review on the Google webstore, it will really help me and encourage me to offer more :)
Thanks!
