Cannot work within iframe & Dynamic content through extension or AJAX #110

Your extension really helps me a lot in my daily life. I want to inform you about one small issue and request to fix it. Imagine I am using a third-party extension called 'Sider AI'. This extension creates dynamic popups when I ask it any question. Inside this newly created dynamic content, TranOver does not work. It also doesn't work inside iframes.

If you need more information, please let me know. I am ready to share.

Here is a simple tips you can easily apply: use JavaScript MutationObserver to observe dynamic changes in the entire page (DOM), then initialize the extension after any new change.

Shadow dom. I am not sure external scripts can "penetrate" it. But I might be wrong.

Sounds like you know what to do. I'd welcome your pr.

You're correct, brother. I know the solution to the problem, but the issue is I've never worked on extensions before. So, I'm unable to contribute to this project now.

You can provide me with the steps for the task, and in the future, I'll attempt to solve it.
