Weird urls behaviour / screen changes after turning on extension via SteemPlus button within Steemit platform

Expected behavior

After turning the extensions off and then on You will expect to see like a loading spinner/mode and then end up with extension features enabled without being redirected to other accounts and errors displaying.

Actual behavior

After turning off the extensions I wanted to enable the features and turn it back on after a while. I have noticed that after clicking the button on the top right corner while it is in disabled mode, I am being redirected to following url (authorization is fine) while we can also see and error page for about 2 seconds.

Url:
https://v2.steemconnect.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=steem-plus-app&redirect_uri=https://steemit.com/@steem-plus&scope=vote,comment,comment_options&state=https://steemit.com/@anushka/feed

Error page displays for 2 seconds and urls changes again:

Then I am redirected for a second to SteemPlus account (@steem-plus) which I can see on my screen and url in browser is like that:

https://steemit.com/@steem-plus?access_token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJyb2xlIjoiYXBwIiwicHJveHkiOiJzdGVlbS1wbHVzLWFwcCIsInVzZXIiOiJhbnVzaGthIiwic2NvcGUiOlsidm90ZSIsImNvbW1lbnQiLCJjb21tZW50X29wdGlvbnMiXSwiaWF0IjoxNTE5NTYyNzIzLCJleHAiOjE1MjAxNjc1MjN9.knkV6kadPDO_ga9xv1rZvQyZkPSmnFU8ai0m5EE9PHQ&expires_in=604800&state=https%3A%2F%2Fsteemit.com%2F%40anushka%2Ffeed&username=anushka

Urls kind of change a little bit in a crazy manner and then I end up where I was originally with the SteemPlus features enabled (back on my feed view where I started).

It might make user concerned about some sketching “redirecting” that is going on in the background. The extension is absolutely amazing, it’s better to eliminate that and user experience and trust will increase.

How to reproduce

Turn off the extension using SteemPlus icon within the platform and then turn it back on. Observe urls changing and Your screen.

Browser: Chrome

SteemPlus version: 2.4.0.1
