Browser Support

Browser	Supported	Download	Note
Google Chrome	Yes	Chrome Web Store	Fully Supported
Firefox	Yes	Firefox Addons	Fully Supported
Microsoft Edge	No	n/a	Pending news on the new Microsoft Edge. Will most likely use a customised version of the Chrome Extension.
Vivaldi	Yes	Chrome Web Store	Supported Icon Assets. Chrome OAuth Base.
Opera	Yes	Chrome Web Store	Supported Icon Assets. Download from Chrome Web Store on supported Opera versions.
Safari	No	n/a	No support is planned. The costs and effort to port the extension (and then deal with Apple Support) is not worth it.

Setup

1. Clone the repository and open it.
2. Run npm install.
3. Run npm run build to build files or npm run watch for debugging.
