Grumpy Flag Extension

# what?
Chrome plugin to display country names as a title (toolbox hover) on facebook posts for flag emojis

# Why?
Well, uhm, I'm a member of a facebook group called Grumpy Expat in which people would end up starting almost all posts in the format \"🇪🇬 in 🇳🇱 ... \" and because I'm (and so many fellow group members are) flag-challenged, I just created this tiny plugin to tell me which flag maps to which country :D (also hence the name)

Flag-emoji mapping is based on gemoji project [https://github.com/github/gemoji]

code can be found at https://github.com/foozee/grumpyFlag
