Extension to browse libraries/plugins on github while surfing through source code
nosey Extension
If you are constantly googling for libraries when browsing repository's code, this extension is for you. I know, you can just type it on the url bar ... but I'm lazy.
It currently works with javascript, typescript, go and .vim files. If the surfed file does not have a known supported extension, nosey won't add the annotations, so clicking a library will do nothing, but you can manually select the language parser by clicking nosey extension icon next to chrome's url bar.
