All data (account names and hash tags to remove) are stored client side in localstorage, so the extension doesn't query / load data from an external API like yours does. As a result, I haven't bumped into that "gotcha" yet. I do use a background page to bridge the popup's stored data with the content script that does all the heavy lifting (from what I remember). Just fyi on the localstorage adapter: leveraging the one from the Todo example on the backbone website. Thanks for giving me a shout out in your article, very kind of you.
