Release notes for 1.2.0
A long-awaited update with a long changelog! If you have any issues with this update or any suggestions, please create an issue on Github or send me an email.

Summary:
* Added an option for the `disable`/`enable` status to be persistent across browser restarts. This is also the default option for new users. (Contributed by Github user @tuurep).
* Added an option for displaying notifications when the extension is toggled using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+D). This is useful if you don't have the extension pinned to the toolbar and can't see the icon change. (Also contributed by @tuurep).
* The extension is now pinned to the taskbar by default. It can be unpinned by right clicking.
* The settings page has been made a little bit more intuitive by grouping together similar options.
* You can now disable the `Close tab` button that is visible on the blocked page.
* If the extension is enabled on browser startup and persistent tabs are enabled in firefox, the last focused tab will now be blocked if it's in the blocklist.
* Any issues related to blocking after navigation on single page applications (like twitter or reddit) have now been fixed (This required requesting a new permission, apologies for the inconvenience).
* Blocking will no longer occur on iframes (websites embedded inside of websites).

Full changelog:
* Everything previously mentioned.
* Code refactoring.
* Updated dependencies.
* Building the extension locally now works on linux (Thanks again @tuurep).
* Fixed an issue where there was brief period of about 1 second where blocked sites could be visited right after browser startup (Reported by @tuurep).
* Fixed an issue where the width of the extensions popup would change when the extension was toggled on systems where the scrollbar didn't have any width.
* Within "You get x minutes" notifications the extension logo is now green to represent its active status.

Thank you @tuurep for your code contributions, bug reports, feature requests, and, of course, moral support over the last week this update has been worked on.
