Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

On GitHub, no matter what kind of file is, their icons are all same. However, in your fancy editor, there are some packages which make it energetic.

Therefore, I build a simple Firefox extension to replace original file icon with file-specific icons. This improves visual recognition on GitHub.

Hope you like it!
