Clearify the project status #11

Could you please clearify the status of your project/fork and the "original" one.

It looks like that chrispedericks version is out-dated. But it is still available on the Firefox AddOn page. It should be removed from there. And in chris's repository should be a big notification message about that this repo is out-dated. But he doesn't allow issues there.

Your project looks fresh. ;) It would be nice if you could point more specific to the older ones and say: "They are outdated." or something like that. And it would be nice to know that is the difference between your version and the old one.

Yeah. I've been procrastinating for SeaMonkey did get support for WebExtensions before porting this over, but I might start working on it in Firefox. I can't get my version of this extension in AMO, because it changes user-agent preferences. Hopefully, the future WebExtensions version that changes the headers and navigator object on individual web requests without changing preferences will be approved.
