Wtf does this do

Omploader-ff is a Firefox browser extension that lets you quickly upload files to omploader, a file-sharing service, directly from your browser. Without an extension like this, you'd typically need to visit the omploader website, navigate to its upload page, and manually select the file you want to share. This tool streamlines that workflow by bringing the upload button right into Firefox, reducing the friction of sharing files, images, or screenshots online. This kind of tool would be useful for anyone who frequently shares files via omploader, for example, a designer sending screenshots to a colleague, or a forum user sharing an image in a discussion thread. Instead of juggling browser tabs or dealing with clunky file-upload interfaces, they can handle the upload in a click or two and get a shareable link back. Because the README doesn't go into detail, there isn't much to say about how the project is built or what specific tradeoffs it makes. What's clear is that it's written in JavaScript, which is standard for Firefox extensions, and its sole purpose is to act as a bridge between your browser and the omploader service.
