Browser extensions

[johnste]

Started work on browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. Plan is to also support at least Safari. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Requested in #161, #180 and in other forms of communication.

Hey @johnste, first of all, thank you very much for this AMAZING software. After many many years of using computers, I realized only this year that I needed a "browser router", and after disqualifying a bunch of mediocre closed source stuff, someone finally recommended Finicky. It's amazing, 100% what I needed! Love everything about it.

Now back on topic ... yes, it would be great if there was a way to make Chrome and Firefox based browsers open links in a different browser.

E.g., this is useful if you receive all your email in browser A, but the emails contain links to sites that should open in browser B.

Do the Chrome and FFox APIs even allow us to launch an external browser? I guess this would involve some hackery with the URL / protocol handlers?

Oh lol, I just realized that you already pushed code and that you did hackery via a finicky:// protocol handler. High Five!
