2. run npm install --global web-ext (only only for the first time)
3. in another terminal, run web-ext run --start-url https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16276 for Firefox or web-ext run -t chromium

Note: Firefox will automatically reload content scripts when the extension is updated, Chrome requires you to reload the page to reload the content scripts.
