Notes

• The reason for 2 completely different extensions rather than one, cross-platform extension is because Firefox doesn't support offscreen DOM. Offscreen DOM is preferred since it doesn't interfere with actual page content, so the Chromium extension has been built to support it. The Firefox version, however, has to use the onscreen DOM, which is why it's a separate extension.
