README
webext-domain-permission-toggle
WebExtension module: Browser-action context menu to request permission for the current tab. Chrome, Firefox, Safari.
Works great when paired with webext-dynamic-content-scripts if you want to also inject content scripts on the new domains.
This repository even includes a customizable guide to tell your users how to use it. At the bottom of that page, you'll find a link that lets you customize it with your extension’s name and icon. You can link your users to it directly, it's a permalink.
