Stable relase install

• If you want to install the stable releases, go to chrome://flags and search for the #extension-mime-request-handling flag and set it to Always prompt for install.

WIP: bugs and tests

• This is a WIP and sometimes the tweaks may not work. If you know anything to fix these issues, make a PR and I'll see if it is ok.

Extension ID

• When you install nightly builds, you will not have some extended update support.   

  • As the extension ID always changes on every installation because of the method used, you always will need to use git pull sometimes to pick the most recent changes around the time.

• If you install the stable version, the extension ID will always be mipmmienhagcbdjfdfolijbhkcgmkhkn, as I compiled with my own private key.

  • I created a file named updates.xml in this repo who will always ensure that you will have the most recent stable version. But sorry, it's not guaranteed if I will always compile the source to make the recent changes avaliable to some users, so, if you want some more things (if it will have so), just use nightly builds, as they are more raw and always includes the most recent changes in the repository (at clone time).
