Web app addons!

Remember how I said add-ons were only for desktop and mobile. Well, now they're on the web app (with a few caveats).

  1. For now, you can only load one addon at a time in the web app. This is because addons are loaded via the addonUrl parameter (e.g, "https://simpliplay.netlify.app/app?addonUrl=https://example.com/mycooladdon.simpliplay").
  2. Some addons may use desktop-specific features, such as loading certain types of URLs without restrictions like on web browsers. We can't change this as this is a fundamental difference between browsers and desktop apps.
  3. All addons marked as compatible for Windows, macOS, and Linux should work for the web app as well, but if they don't it may be because of the compatibility issues mentioned in No.2.

Hope you enjoy addons on the web!
