Description

Would be nice to have an opt-in option to have it register the handler on all new browser windows.

Could do something like this:

app.on('browser-window-created', (e, win) => {
  win.webContents.executeJavaScript('');
});

And execute some JS that includes it.

Research direction
Investigate the current registration mechanism in the library, likely in the main index.js file. The feature requires adding an option to automatically attach the handler to new windows using the 'browser window created' event. Look at how the existing handler is set up and expose an opt in option.
