About this extension
The Web Honorifics API is an API developed in Kyōsuke, a Firefox-based browser for weebs, which tells websites that the user prefers to see Japanese honorifics. But what if you don't want to download another browser? That's what this extension is for! This extension adds the API to Firefox for Desktop, and theoretically should also work in Orion for macOS or iOS and Firefox for Android!

Known limitations:
* This can only tell websites, not other add-ons, to use Japanese honorifics.
* The Web Honorifics API may not be accessible to Web Workers.

* Due to content-security policies, the API might not get injected on certain websites (e.g. Spotify)

If a website doesn't check the Web Honorifics API, you won't notice any change whether this extension is installed or not.
