Description

## Usage
Hitting [alt + r] appends the current tab’s URL with a `cachebuster` querystring key, using the POSIX time as a value. (Clicking the extension icon works too, I guess.)

This addition is pushed on using replaceState and then the tab is reloaded as a callback. The history remains unpolluted.

The querystring is appended if it exists or created if it doesn’t. Anchor links remain intact, too.

No analytics. No special permissions. Because that’s kinda creepy.

## Version Log
---1.0.3---
• Optimized the PNG set, knocking a few Kb out of the package.

---1.0.2---
• Snappy new marketing copy! I’m going to make millions!
• Lowercased the querystring key to “cachebuster”. I’m sorry, I should have known better the first time. I don’t know what I was thinking.

---1.0.1---
• Various tinkers.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
