Chromebook Simulator Extension

This is useful if you're a developer working on an educational technology product that is frequently used by users who have Chromebooks, but you have a larger monitor than a Chromebook.

Features
- No permissions required. No overhead
- One-click instant resize; nothing fancier than that!

Notes:
Typical Chromebook resolution is 1366x768, though we shave 48 pixels from the bottom because Chromebooks reserve the bottom 48px for the application bar.
