Force Enable Text Selection Extension

This extension re-enables the ability to select text that has been disabled via CSS using the \"user-select\" property.

I made this extension because Chegg Homework disables the text-selection ability for no reason that I can understand. This extension will allow you to select the text in the Homework Help section of their website and anywhere else that this feature has been disabled.

This extension does not enable text selection for websites that have disabled text selection via javascript. I am, however, happy to look into adding this ability if there is a need for it.
