APOD Plus Extension

Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) Plus
A simple, beautiful, and powerful way to view the Astronomy Picture of the Day from NASA.
* Restructures the DOM to provide modern HTML
* Style the site to be easier to read, use, and view and all screen sizes.
* Click on the image to enlarge it for easier viewing.
* Random picture button
* Click on the extension button in the toolbar to open a new tab to the latest APOD.

This maintains all links that are lost by using the NASA APOD API, which most extensions and restyles do. This also maintains the use of the https://apod.nasa.gov website so all page views still count toward them.

Right now this extension only restyles a couple of page layouts. More are being worked on and new features such as a calendar picker are on the way. While most videos are viewable, some are acting a bit wonky; these are also being worked on.

Gate Keeper (ID: 0000005a9adafd86) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/17/2022 This is a nice refresh for the APOD website. I would like a better way to search for images, but I still like the new styles!
