Force English Content Extension

This extension intercepts requests to docs.microsoft.com, developer.mozilla.org, reactjs.org, developers.facebook.com, checks if the requested URL responds with English content and, if it doesn't, redirects to the corresponding URL containing English content.

The use case is for users using a non-English localised browser but having good written English skills to skip changing website content to English every time they access to websites where non-English content quality is lower compared to English one.
