>What would it take to get it ported to a better browser?

It's waiting for review approval on the chrome webstore.

after checking icon and layout, they just install the extension in a sandbox and if it runs without a javascript error it passes.

Could you make it activate on demand/icon click? Excited to see how this would affect skimming web pages for me.

From a security point of view it will probably require some additional permissions, that I'm not comfortable asking yet.

It's also taking a few seconds to process big pages so for the time being I'll rather have the user click the button when he wants to.

But I'll try to think of a solution for this use case.
