Auto highlight code when you load it in a browser tab.

FEATURES
- Fast, even on very long code page

Note: this extension might clash with other browser extensions that modify the DOM before it runs. If it doesn't seem to be working, try disabling other extensions. If it clashes with an extension you need, open an issue and I'll try to find a solution.
