v2.0 - Compatibility with Mastodon v4 added!

Finally, this release adds the long-awaited compatibility for Mastodon v4. This was a difficult task, given that Mastodon has changed a lot of how their redirection works and thus this extension now not only monitors URLs and redirects them properly, but also injects code on all Mastodon instances and monitors them (because content can be loaded dynamically via AJAX as Mastodon is a single-page application).

This turned out to be even harder than thought and multiple adjustments were necessary (#87, #84, #87), to make it work reliably in all cases and e.g. not trigger on your own (home) instance.
As such, I have to apologize for the delay, but a huge thanks goes to @hueyy, who implemented nearly everything of that. Without all contributors, this release would certainly not have been possible!

As an addition, the extension now also uses a new icon based on the new purple-styled Mastodon brand/icon, so you can see at one glance which version now works with the new Mastodon instances:
