GhostText as a Chrome alternative to It's All Text for Firefox #25

Apparently there's a popular Firefox add-on called It's All Text that seems to do the same thing GhostText does, but it's been inactive for a year. Actually there a few more alternatives on SO:

We have have a look at It's All Text's issues to see what problems we can expect to run into

Many of the issues are based on how It's all Text works - file related like naming… . Other are editor specific related like: "Does not work with my strange editor nobody hear ever about it…"

But we could try to grab a part of the user base from It's all Text if it is inactive.
