[GOAL] Unpaywall: Our new Chrome extension finds OA as you browse

[Heather Piwowar]

Thanks!  :)

No plans for a Safari version right now...the number of Safari users is
relatively small and we're trying not to spread ourselves too thin.
Our code is open <https://github.com/impactstory/unpaywall>, though, so if
anyone else wants to, they are more than welcome!
