EZProxy Redirect Extension

Many universities use EZProxy to allow its students access to various online databases. This extension adds a button to Chrome which allows for a quick way to reload the current page through your EZProxy system.

All it does is pass the URL to your library's EZProxy login URL. For example:
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/
would change to:
http://www.library.drexel.edu/cgi-bin/r.cgi?url=http://ieeexplore.ieee.org

Also, the code to this extension is available on GitHub: https://github.com/tom5760/chrome-ezproxy

This extension also uses the library proxy database at: https://libproxy-db.org/

Updates in the latest version:
* Update to Manifest v3
* Simultaneously publish Chrome & Firefox extension

Please let me know if you run into any problems by creating an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/tom5760/chrome-ezproxy
