Append Reddit Extension

This extension redoes a Google search when pressing \"Shift + R\" while on a results page, with \"site:reddit.com\" appended to the search.

This extension stems from the observation of the following pattern:
1. I search for something requiring an opinion, such as \"best browser for Windows 2021\"
2. I see results that seem like ads or have a low amount of depth
3. I add \"site:reddit.com\"
4. Search again

This extension aims to save a few keystrokes (17 keystrokes in the above case).

New pattern:

1. Search
2. I see results that seem like ads or have a low amount of depth
3. \"Shift + R\"
