[PrivacyBadger] Chrome browser automation for privacy badger enhancement

[Cooper Quintin]

Alexei,
Thats great, I'm excited to have you on board! As for testing, we
already have some Selenium tests for privacy badger chrome which Gunes
wrote. They are pretty extensive and are, IMO, the easiest way to
accomplish your task--especially since the bootstrapping has already
been done. If you have an argument for not using Selenium let me know,
but otherwise I think selenium is excellent.
