Rikai Rebuilt

What is it?

Rikai Rebuilt is an attempt to rewrite the Firefox extension Rikaisama for the WebExtension API since the XUL API that Rikaisama was built with doesn't work in Firefox anymore

How is this different to the other Rikaisama Alternatives

Rather than trying to be an alternative, this plugin will try to be as true to the original as possible, attempting to keep the logic and functionality the same by rewriting it line by line. On top of that, the end goal is to have this extension be compatible with all browsers that support WebExtension

Building for different browsers

A small note: When building for Chrome you need to remove the clipboard read optional permission from the manifest. They don't require it (Firefox does though) and because they don't require it they consider it a violation to even include it in the manifest
