Contribution:

The codebase will always be open source; while users are welcome to modify to make their own modifications/updates, in the spirit of communal development, please submit a Pull Request and I'll see if I can incorporate your changes into the full build! **Have a bug/improvement, but don't want to code it? Make an issue!** Nothing about the app is monetized in any way, so support and updates is limited by my own free time -- if you have any additions or improvements, it makes a better extension for everyone. Contributors will be credited on this README.

Privacy Policy:

All information is modified locally, and the application does not collect or transmit any data about users.

If you have any concerns, suggestions, or questions about the extension, please contact me at sophie.a.debs@gmail.com.
