Extension Usage Instructions

                        # Colab Alive - a chrome extension that keeps Colab notebooks alive. 

Updated to work with the latest Colab as of March 2021. Thanks to https://github.com/sobuj53 for the update!

How it works — a few lines of JS code are injected if you have a colab tab open and running even if you navigate away from the page.
