Allows your browser to access AWS resources that require Amazon's Sigv4 scheme.

Inspired by [carsales/aws-request-signer](https://github.com/carsales/aws-request-signer).

Main differences from aws-request-signer:

They basically rolled their own signature process and I use browserify and [mhart/aws4](https://github.com/mhart/aws4) to handle all heavy lifting.
This extension triggers on all AWS services instead of filtering for one.
Instance Profile credentials aren't supported as I have no use for them.
Chrome/Firefox/Opera support.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AWS Agent requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

AWS Agent is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
