## Description

This extension is developed in the scope of a research experiment. It was developed to replicate an installation link that has previously been used by a now removed Add-on. It will not cause any harm to you or your device. It will simply be monitored in terms of its installations and usage but will only show a popup on your browser. It was developed in the scope of a research study conducted with the University of Hamburg. The aim of the study is to analyze whether it is possible to reuse a dead installation link and to examine the practical relevance and impact of publishing a browser extension that replicates the dead installation link. For questions or any other input, please reach out to: lynn.seyff@gmail.com.
