About this extension
This plugin is a proof-of-concept experimenting with how the information available in the https://consumerrights.wiki can be made more easily accessible at the point where users make their purchasing decisions on the Web.
The idea is that once a user has installed the plugin, product advertisements browsed on well known sites like Amazon and Google will be automatically checked against the "Consumer Rights Wiki" (CRW) and if a respective product/manufacturer has already been called out on the CRW (i.e. there have already been issues from a Consumer Rights perspective), then the affected product is shown with an added "CAUTION" icon that can be clicked on, to directly access the relevant CRW information page.
Limitations: The CRW is a work in progress and the information available may still have room for improvements. The plugin uses a hard-coded set of CRW page references that existed at the time of its creation and it will not be able to deal with future changes to the respective Wiki structure. The only pages that it currently handles are Amazon and the product search on Google (on detail drill-down page only). Technical changes on those pages will likely impair the plugin's ability to function.

Release notes for 0.1.2
I removed some obviously unused "permissions" from the manifest .json (the current list may still not be the bare minimum but I don't want to waste time taking things out that may be back with my next plugin enhancement - after all it is still an experimental plugin).
I patched the code so that it now also works in garbage Chromium based browsers.
