Indeed a great idea, do you plan to port it to Firefox too? :)

Hey, so I refactored and made a Firefox addon! it's pretty cool that firefox allows addons on mobile, so it works there too!

Here's the link:

Let me know what you think, or if there's any issues

wow that's fast :) Thank you very much. Will test it right away.
Thanks, yes I've just had a look at the Firefox api and its very similar to Chrome's, so it shouldn't take much work!
In case you weren't already aware, there is almost a cross-browser standard for doing that: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions and https://browserext.github.io/browserext/ is the draft standard
Thanks!

I've tried to use as little browser-"specific" api's as I could, the main problem was the manifest.json file, which vary a bit between Chrome and Firefox

Anyway here's the link to the Firefox version if you're interested:
