Description
There is an web-extension compatible with Firefox that can be used for testing until we work on integrating the API directly into the browser. This extension uses the `cloneInto` function from Firefox to share data between the content and background scripts. This is a Firefox-specific function; Chromium-based browsers have another way of doing this.
Since this is meant to be temporary anyway, I will not work on this personally to focus on other parts of the service, but I would review support for Chrome if someone else implements it.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the web extension's content and background scripts, especially the Firefox-specific cloneInto usage. Compare the data-sharing approach needed by Chromium-based browsers and test the extension in Chromium while preserving Firefox support; done means the extension works in both browser families.
