- figure out manifest content_security_policy
By default, this addon just displays a popup with the Pairdrop website so you can start recieving files and texts easily. In the popup the URL of the current tab is posted to the Message Dialog (right click). You can change the mode in the addons settings either to 'Popup in new window' or 'Open Tab instead' or 'Open in Sidebar'.
Background mode
can be enabled in the settings
This runs Pairdrop in the background so you can receive files/texts anytime and get notifications.
Server
The URL can be specified in the settings, protocol required (http/https)
ATTENTION: make sure that Pairdrop is only running once. (The background service will stop running if Pairdrop is opened in any tab, just make sure not to open Pairdrop in several tabs)
Firefox: sending files from the popup does not work (FilePicker causes the Popup to close), this is a known bug. Therefore I recommend changing the Mode in the addons settings either to 'Popup in new window' or 'Open Tab instead' or 'Open in Sidebar'.
Chrome: Unrecognized manifest key 'browser_specific_settings'
current version: 0.1
//TODO

That's it, enjoy!
(if you want to add it to Chrome Web Store, please open an issue/discussion)
