Extension summary

"Scout" any artist by highlighting their name and right clicking to get a full list of their top tracks. Click any song to instantly play it in Spotify or click "Check out Artist" to go directly to their artist page.

*Has the option to be used with either the Spotify desktop or web player.

NOTICE As of 5/29/2017 Spotify has made changes to their API and it breaks all current functionality for this extension :/ I can no longer search artists without having the user grant permissions using their Spotify account. This will require some annoying changes like making the user login when they first enable this extension. I will be working on implementing these changes as soon as possible and hope to get a new version out so the extension can go back to functioning as normal. Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you can understand.

Awesome! It works nice because it'll just pull up Spotify and play the song right away. Convenient when working on other stuff.
