Acknowledgements

This extension would not have been possible without:

• Mozilla for Firefox and their excellent WebExtension documentation
  • Firefox is fast, reliable, open-source, and respects my privacy.
  • Firefox is the only major browser that does not contribute to the Webkit/Blink hegemony.
• Visual Studio Code for writing code
• Figma for icon design
• New Tab Override for inspiration
• Rasmus Andersson for the beautiful Inter font
