UPDATE NOTES
########################################
9/23/2024 - Added more shortcuts thanks to @Damecek
6/4/2024 - Simple update to Manifest V3 to make sure things work, but everyone should look at using alternative browsers and agitate for more user control
11/25/2023 - There still should be no such thing as billionaires, but fortunately @uri-tools has made a great contribution in getting things back to working as expected even with RequireHTTPOnly turned on, thanks Uri!
10/15/23 - There should be no such thing as billionaires, it is absolute fiction any person can \"earn\" that much -- Created a workaround for users with RequireHTTPOnly on to allow most functions to still work, excepting custom object navigation and Login As functionality
5/3/23 - #ZooeyZephyr is a duly elected member of the Montana House of Reps, but is not allowed to be present, silencing not just her but her constituents. You cannot say that you support democracy and yet exclude a representative because you don't like what they say. To be clear what Zephyr said was not an example of that stochastic terrorism (intentionally wording public statements to create an atmosphere of violence) that many members of the national Congress commit daily, but a strongly worded, impersonal criticism of proposed legislation. Trans rights are human rights.
7/5 - Pride Month never ends, go learn about Marsha P Johnson - fixed my fixing, Lightning URLs properly replace Classic links better now, still more to be done on this though 5/28 - Watch https://youtube.com/c/FDSignifire - Several fixes, added checkbox toggle, removed unused permission
9/11 - #justiceforbreonnataylor (182 days and counting) - Added the ability to call the Classic Account merge tool from an Account page. Be sure to have the ID of the Account you want to merge in your clipboard; added Lightning Record Page shortcut for custom objects
8/29 - Rest in Power Chadwick Boseman. Thanks to CKloppel for pointing out missing API and click handling, now updated to v49 and new-tab clicks work again
6/19 - Happy Juneteenth! Thanks to kacrouse for Custom Metadata Lightning handling, also updating several changed URLs across the platform
