Description

Unlike #4, I'd like to propose that the extensions searches on the _target_ site for `link` tags. Currently, it only looks for `a` tags:

Research direction

Start with browser-extension/background.js at line 15, where the extension currently searches the target site for a tags. Trace how rel="me" links are checked and include link tags in that same target-site search. Done means rel="me" links in link tags are checked for reciprocal verification as well.
