Great Project!

I am interested to know how the crx extension was built I am not a fan of binaries in git repositories. I would like to see how you built it, to ensure security and transparency.

Thanks :D

CRX is an archive file format similar (or perhaps identical) to ZIP with some extra metadata, presumably the extension's public key. You can extract the contents with a program like 7zip, but you may need to rename the file to .zip first depending on the method used. To create a CRX file visit chrome://extensions, enable developer mode, and click Pack extension.
