## Description

Firefox-only fork of the original GitHub Unveiler extension (v1.9). Use the upstream project for Chrome or other Chromium browsers. All core credit for the concept and initial implementation goes to the original author (@RedRecondite).

<strong>Optional permissions</strong>: To allow saving the host and persisting on page refresh.

<strong>Note</strong>: Hitting 'Deny' on the permissions dialog after clicking the extension will still apply the renaming, but only until page refresh, as <em>denying</em> permissions will not allow the extension to persist.
<em>This was done this way, so that no permissions are required to still use the extension.</em>
