Extension Usage Instructions

**This extension won't be maintained further.** I'm shelving this project due to lack of interest/utility and too much burden. The addon will remain available for download as long as the store allows, and the source on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/Marnes-group/webextensions) will also remain available to fork.
**I do have a greasyfork account (https://greasyfork.org/en/users/18593-marnes) and may publish works there in the future.** I have mild intentions to reimplement the core functionality of CSL, IBCP, and DID as public userscripts.

Also available for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/plain-text-linker/

When you double-click on a piece of plain text, Plain Text Linker tries to determine if what you clicked could be a URL and tries to open it.
