FYI: Link Status Redux 3.0 is a WebExtension #1

So, a couple of weeks ago I (finally) started researching if/how LSR could be converted to a WebExtension. Fairly quickly I found this port, which was very helpful in showing me the "standard" way to do it: by injecting an iframe (a bad way to do it, but also the only way to do it). With this basis, and also borrowing some structure and code from your port, I wrote the WE version of LSR, available at https://github.com/jaatroko/link-status-redux

Anyways, as LSR has many Japanese users, I'm sure a Japanese translation would be appreciated. Do you want to contribute? I'll be publishing the extension on AMO before/during next weekend so it will be ready when Firefox 57 is released on the 14th.

Excellent!

Yeah, the Chrome extension API is fundamentally flawed that the WebExtensions API is based upon. I'm afraid Firefox is dropping its advantage :(

I also borrowed your English translation. Open Source is great :)

Of course! I sent a pull request.
