This is a repeat of #14.

On 3.2.1, the rating is shared between all windows.

In the examples below you might also notice that I'm using another extension as well for ToS;DR. That extension seems to be able to do reporting on the current tab as opposed to the window in focus. The code is available on https://github.com/tosdr/browser-extensions for comparison.

Wikipedia seemingly reported as a "Conspiracy Theory/Pseudo-science" website when out of focus:

I am far from knowledgeable in this area, but looking at the differences between this extension and ToS;DR's it seems that the plugin is using "Browser Action" as opposed to "Page Action".
