Distribution of WebExtension Directly to Users #154

Description

@quoid

It is no longer possible to, conveniently, distribute Safari extension directly to users. In the infinite wisdom of the Apple overlords, they've decided:

Distribution to end users for Safari Web Extensions is limited to the Mac App Store. You can test Safari Web Extensions distributed with a notarized app by using the Allow Unsigned Extensions option from the Develop Menu.

The "Allow Unsigned Extensions" setting does not persist between browser startups. Users must enable that setting every single time they start Safari.

This could change how releases are distributed through this repo for versions 4+.

Hopefully this changes in the near future, until then I will keep this issue open as reminder.
