Summary

This is a fork of the original "Google Chat thread links & quote reply" which appears to no longer be supported.

For old style chat rooms, adds a button on each message to quote reply to them. Also hides GitHub Enterprise and Google sign-in previews since they always show up empty in Google Chat.
