How to side-load the extension
*Use the bin/chrome directory for the unpacked extension target (see development).

Development

Any shared resources between browsers are kept within the shared folder.
When a function in a shared script file "name" requires browser specific implementation, that function is implemented within the file "_name":

#####Example

├── chrome
│	├── scripts
│	│	├── _base.js
│
└── shared
    ├── scripts
    │	├── base.js

####Running After making changes, use the pack.sh script.
The first argument is the browser:

$ ./pack.sh chrome

The script combines and places both the shared files and browser specific files within the corresponding bin/[browser].
