LiChess tools flags bug.

I am using the lichess tools extension created by @totalnoob69 ( thank you for all the effort you put into this extension for free <3 ) , it just adds so many useful features, and many slight visual changes. on the topic of visual changes, recently lichess added flairs, and removed some flags, as thibault stated here.

Previously, I had the lichess flag set to my profile, which was changed to a golden lichess flair. without the extension, I am not able to see my old flag, but with the extension enabled ( and the show player country flags option enabled ) I am able to see the lichess flag next to my name, and I am not able to change it.
That's the intent of the feature, to see the flag :) If you want to remove the flag you need to unset your country. Or do you need a specific functionality that I don't understand?
Ah. There is also a local flag cache so the server is not overwhelmed. So even if you change your country you will still see the flag for a few days. The solution for this is to go to Preferences -> LiChess Tools -> Show Flags and ... err... turn it off and on again. This will reset the cache.
It is, indeed, cumbersome, so I fixed it so that changing the country will reset the cache. Thanks for the bug report!
I like this use of the feedback category.

In order to change it, you have to 1) change the flair (which you probably did) and 2) click on the "submit" icon below
