Ported extension to the W3C Web Extensions API to support Firefox, Chrome, and more

Open churchs19 opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Replaced chrome.* APIs with browser.* APIs and added the webextension-polyfill to support browsers that don't support the browser.* APIs yet.

Tested in Firefox 57+ and Chrome 62+.

Should theoretically work in Edge, Opera, and Safari as well as any other browser that supports the W3C Web Extensions API.

Wow this is great!! I'll take a look at the changes as soon as possible: I am really curious to know more about these new extension APIs.

The changes are really pretty minor as the Web Extensions API is largely based on the existing Chrome extensions API. Besides renaming chrome.* to browser.*, the biggest change is the onMessage API becoming promise-based instead of callback-based.
