Fix my Twitter! Extension

Almost everyone agrees Twitter's new design is ugly. *Very* ugly. This add-on gets you back the old style!

It changes the UA string to IE11's and fixes the clipboard.

IMPORTANT: you HAVE to clear Twitter's cookies on install, as this is not something that can be done automatically on Chrome.

The source code can be found at: https://github.com/zaszthecroc/fix-my-twitter

Permissions:

* \"https://twitter.com/*\": needed for access to the webRequest API
* \"webRequest\", \"webRequestBlocking\": needed to edit the requests' headers before sending
* \"browsingData\": needed to clear Twitter's cookies
