Hangs due to dependency on platform.twitter.com

[fortran77]

When I right-clicked on the extension icon, instead of seeing settings screen, I saw an empty screen, and my Chrome browser (in Chrome OS) showed "platform.twitter.com..." in the bottom left corner, which meant that the extension was waiting for platform.twitter.com to respond. This happened repeatedly over about 30 minutes, and then, finally, platform.twitter.com must have responded, and i reached the settings screen. It looks like the dependency on platform.twitter.com is needed by a sharing button.

So I did a Google search for "platform.twitter.com" (within double quotes as shown), and found other similar complaints from people over the years (in other situations, not this extension) complaining about hangs and delays caused by platform.twitter.com not responding.

I wonder if such dependencies could be made to run in the background, so the main screen never hangs if platform.twitter.com does not respond immediately.
