Thanks Friend. Very useful.

I will say that after testing it for a while it seems to get stuck on certain sites and never recover. The last update on this was 10 months ago, so not sure if it will help for me to file a bug/issue.

It should allow you to interrupt and move onto the next site.

Really great though; when it works, it is awesome.
