Need
Plugins for browsers are needed when we can not inject the necessary lines of code directly into the page (code) or the application does not offer the possibility to load the script (like SharePoint Extensions do).
It has only one goal: Wait until a GRAVITY enabled URL is hit with the browser, setup the correct backend URL and start the inject scripts. After that basically the plugin is not needed anymore; but since we want to update configs once in a while the configuration has an expiration date after which the procedure is repeated.
...
After a config is found (first paragraph below), the plugin is injecting the scripts into the site which starts GRAVITY.
