You can change the shown symbol by replacing the SVG in the source code. Just visit Bootstrap Icons and choose one... Or just stick with the good old plain # .

Todo

• [✅] Deploy as a real Firefox Addon (right now it's just usable via about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox)
• [✅] Replace EventListeners with CSS :hover for better performance
• [✅] Remove the small white space between the headline and the icon
• [✅] Develop for Chromium Browsers, too just recognized it already does...

A few more words

1. Big thank you to Bootstrap for their free icon set - looking at you, FontAwesome....
2. I hope Wikipedia will add this one day since it can be pretty handy from time to time. (Are they still woking on VUE.js implementation or is it done yet??)
3. I really don't know why I'm working so much on this little project which will probably hardly used by anyone.
4. Actually I do know: I'm just procrastinating.... Have fun ;)
