Additional project notes

This is a fork to bring @barbushin's JavaScript Errors Notifier Chrome extension back into the Chrome Store and to provide a vehicle for feature development and bug support. I have obtained a Chrome Store publishing account which anyone can also do for $5 one time charge, as of this writing, so anyone could also re-submit this extension, or I will act as proxy through this project. Interestingly, while working on this fork, the manifest v2 extension was able to be installed manually in the lastest Chromium in developer mode, but it appears that path is no longer viable, as it appears that developer mode also now blocks manifest v2 projects. This extension, which is working with manifest v3 can be installed manually, or directly from the Chrome Store.

This extension is unobtrusive and useful to Web developers, and ideally, these features should exist as a configurable behavior directly within the browser. Since the browsers don't offer what is in this extension, this seems a worthy endeavor, as I have found this extension to be a nearly invaluable tool for issue detection in the development and test cycle.

Any links removed from the original project's documentation or from within the code are merely to comply with the Chrome Store and manifest version 3 requirements. Please feel free to suggest changes.
