Remove pagination because it's completely broken

Navigating result pages does not work at all. Get rid of the pagination, use the Steam website's builtin pagination, and just have the extension display the float values.

It's very likely that what is actually "broken" is that Steam is taking too long to respond since you set the page size to 100.

Try out a page size of 10 and report back.

Yup, so that turns out to be the case... looks like Steam is very stingy with the speed of requests that we can make.

However, I think it'd be very helpful if the extension could continuously retry the request (with a timeout etc) if it fails. Or at least have some kind of message pop up saying that Steam refused the request, so the user knows what's happening.

Another related problem seems to sometimes happen on initial page #1 loads when the "items per page" is greater than the default 10... I guess it fails to retrieve all of the multiple pages requested, and instead shows the page with pagination for 10-items-per-page. A message/retry could also be helpful for this case, since the user won't know why it's only showing 10 items per page when they selected 25/50/100.
