Chrome UA on Google for Firefox Android

This addon for Firefox for Android sends a Chrome user agent when visiting the Google search domains. It's useful because Google serves a "lite" version of their mobile page to non-webkit browsers. It seems that Firefox can handle the "full" version of the site well enough that the extra functionality is beneficial.

It's available from the Mozilla addon site here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-ua-on-google-android/

This is the User Agent used: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; SM-G928F Build/MMB29K) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Mobile Safari/537.36

This addon is based on user-agent-rewriter from:

https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/master/user-agent-rewriter

It's based on the new Webextensions standard.
