About Google Translate Auto Focus

I was always getting so annoyed when switching to the Google Translate tab, trying to type or paste some text, and realizing that the input isn't focused and my keypresses went nowhere. So I wrote this little extension to automatically focus the input, whenever you switch to the Google Translate tab. This extension is free, doesn't collect any of your data and never will.
