About this extension
Firefox extension that forces the locale of Google sites through the URL.

How it works:

When a URL is loaded, and detected to be a Google URL, the extension adds the "&hl=en" to the URL, forcing that locale.

Release notes for 1.1.0
Thanks @jomo for this contribution:

- Dashed language codes are accepted, e.g. `["en-US", "fr"]` will use `en`
- It also falls back to using the UI language if no usable `Accept-Language` is found
- Requests are limited to `http`/`https`
- Proper URL handling
- Extension triggers if 2nd or 3rd domain label is `google` or `youtube` (e.g. `google.com`, `google.co.uk`). Other Google domains exist, including `*.google` and `*.goog`, but AFAIK `hl` is not used on
- `hl` parameter insertion now works reliably (e.g. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!overview)
