A ridiculously simple extension that allows you to open URLs in Emacs (using w3m) directly from your browser
If the page you're on is a link to a file on Github, such as https://github.com/VivianWilde/chrome-edit-in-emacs/edit/main/README.md, it automatically gets the raw URL and opens it in the appropriate Emacs mode.
This can trivially be modified to call other editors or functions, etc.
