BingSkipper Extension

Skips tracker pages on Bing search results.
Bing tracker links begin with \"https://www.bing.com/ck\". This extension changes all tracker links on bing search results pages to their destination links, as the destination link is encoded with Base64 in the tracker link.
Links will be highlighted in red if the extension has failed to decode it, and will work as normal.

See the source code at https://github.com/Heliodex/BingSkipper.
