Clacks Overhead - GNU Terry Pratchett Extension

This extension is a tribute to the late Terry Pratchett (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett). It displays an icon when the user visits a website sending a \"Clacks Overhead\" message. If the user clicks on the icon, it will display the message and animated clacks semaphore code.

More information can be found here: http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/

Notes:
1. This extension does not collect any data or send any information anywhere.
2. All code is open source on Github: https://github.com/newfolder0/chrome-clacks

Contributors:
- Peter Bell (original author)
- Charlie Wheeler-Robinson (bug hunting, refactoring, improving in early versions)
- Jimmy Nyström (code)
- Melanie Wilberforce (icons)
- Rob Grundy (who made the Firefox extension) for sending me the clacks icons used in the animation
- Backspindle Games for producing the clacks icons in the animation

Michael Campbell (ID: 00000023bc71fe8e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/02/2022 Seems to be working for me. Most sites don't have it but I tested it by going to Discworld Emporium and it lit up as expected. A shame it doesn't light up on this page, but I blame Google, not the developer.
