Context
See interledger/publisher-tools#560 (comment)
Chromium based browsers don't inject content script to existing tabs on extension installation, only new tabs get new script (or when existing tabs are reloaded).
Changes proposed in this pull request
Manually inject the polyfill in Chromium-based browsers so that the websites can detect WM support and extension being installed (using polling without needing a page reload).
Note: link tag load/monetization events won't work until tab is refreshed, but we'll get polyfill/detection support at this stage.
