Trying to run the extension on chrome on windows almost works but then spouts the error :

Failed to load extension from: C:\Program Files(x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\69.0.3497.100\dist\chrome. Manifest file is missing or unreadable.

Clicking ok opens the chrome browser to the webcompat website.

(As screenshot shows, firefox works but opera does not)

Ah, interesting. Looks to me like the way we're fetching the path to the extension in chrome/run.js doesn't work on Windows. There's probably a system-agnostic way to set that up.

Thanks that fixed it.
