Liberate Extension

On Soundcloud or YouTube pages, click the icon in the omnibar to send songs and videos directly to OffLiberty.

For the time being, the extension doesn't distinguish between valid pages and ones that likely won't work (for example, the \"Stream\" home page). For best results, click on the icon on individual song/video pages.
