@YouG-o commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2025):

I have not resolved the conflict with the Localise Times extension, but I have added a debounce to the observer that was causing crash issues. (dd67840b2b)

The title element will still be updated repeatedly due to the conflict, but updates now happen less frequently and should no longer impact performance or cause crashes.

This partial fix will be available in next update.

I may consider adding compatibility with the extension in the future.
