Catblock not working
Just received catblock as part of the backer campaign, but it's not working at all in chrome. Tried having regular adblock enabled and disabled, and restarted chrome as well, but no go. Any advice?

So I've gotten one ad at the top of youtube to actually be replaced.
Other ads that I know adblock removes are not being touched by catblock.

Not every ad that AdBlock blocks can be replaced with a cat. If you visit
nytimes.com you should see several cats, and if so, CatBlock is working.
Hope this helps!

Nope, doesn't work at all on nytimes.com. The twitter support guy thinks
it's cause the version of catblock sent out to backers was only 2.5.33
instead of 2.6.8. Maybe it needs to be resent out to everyone?

Chris,
Hmm... nope, the latest version of CatBlock is in fact 2.5.33, and it is
currently working for me alongside AdBlock version 2.6.8. As we're kind of
slammed at the moment, I think the best I can do is offer you a refund of
your contribution, if you contributed primarily so that you would get
CatBlock :) Would you like us to send you a refund? Sorry I can't offer
to do in-depth debugging for you!

Nah, I'd rather just know you'll fix it eventually. Can you clear up whether it AND adblock should be installed at the same time or not? I've been unable to get clear directions from the support staff thus far.

In Chrome, CatBlock and AdBlock should be installed side-by-side. In
Safari, CatBlock should be installed alone.
