Doesn't work anymore :( This extension is super useful and use to work really well. It made reading code in Github so much easier, especially with code where Github doesn't support "go to definition". But seems like it stopped working.

Love it, exactly what I was looking for! Since I use this feature all the time with Atom, I can't live without it :) Great work!
