Material Icons for Github - Firefox Add-on

Material Icons for Github is a Firefox extension which enhances the visibility and identification of file types on Github by changing the default file icons with those from the Visual Studio Code's Material Icon Theme. It pulls icons from an open-source extension and replaces icons on Github, offering a seamless browsing experience for users. Although unaffiliated with Github, it adds value to the users by making file differentiation easier.
