Errors: 'Could not establish connection' and 'Extension context invalidated' #66

Platform Which platform does the bug apply to?

WebExtension (Google Chrome)

Describe the bug While using the local extension version to test the new rules I often have the errors:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Extension context invalidated.
Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.

I'm not sure if due to these errors there are issues with the technologies being detected and displayed.

To Reproduce Approximate steps: 1 Go to a tested website 1

Update the rules
Hit Refresh in chrome://extensions/
Go to a tested website 2 and refresh the page
Check the errors

Expected behavior

handle these cases in extension communication, or make errors of tech detection more obvious

We don't own this extension. Wappalyzer does. This is just a clone of their repo as off when they went closed-source. As they are closed-source now I don't think you can contribute any fixes.
