Amber web extension

Open a Helios browser on any web site. (idea like Greasemonkey)

This project has failed. I could not get a popup window with Helios connected to the external web page. This is due to web security issues, not Amber.

I think that the old Amber browser should work... but I have not tried that.

Use AmberWebExtension library in your project

If not already done, install Amber and create an Amber project with amber init, as shown in Amber Instructions.

In a project, run

npm install AmberWebExtension --save
grunt devel
amber serve

Go to http://localhost:4000/ in your browser and in all packages that use AmberWebExtension, add 'amber-amberwebextension/AmberWebExtension' to the package imports, save the change and commit the package. Reload.
