Extension summary

An in page overlay used for viewing a thread images easily, and without tab hassle.

Uses the default archive site for 4chan at the moment, https://archived.moe, which is utilized by 4chanX.

Speaking of 4chanX, this app is essentially a lower-level version of that for the archive site.

Note : Due to cloudfront policy, not able to use traditional /b/ archive. Will reroute any expired 4chan thread from the default archive site : archive.moe to thebarchive.com since it allows for grabbing images from the source and displaying in page.
