Rename Chrome Store Foxified

Open PatrickGuthridge opened this issue 7 years ago • 11 comments

The description on GitHub suggests that the add-on can download and install extensions from stores other than Chrome (ie. Edge and Opera). Would you consider renaming the extension to accommodate these other browsers? For example, a name like "Get cross-browser extensions", "cross-browser extension installer", etc.

Hey @QWERTYUIOPYOZO thanks for this idea. Yep I wanted to create a cross browser version, but didn't get around to that yet. Would love any help on brainstorming a new idea. The gist of the name is "Other Addon Stores My Browserified" but we need to get something more name-like rather then sentence-like :)

Currently I only target Google Chrome store for Firefox but would hope to get more.

If I can do anything to help out, please let me know! I am fairly new to WebExtensions myself too, but I'm (re)learning quickly!

Thank you sir for offering! :) Graphics help would be awesome! And UI/UX work for how the addon should work would be even awesomer! Also I was thinking of trying to get some open source moneitization out of this to support development, I have no idea how to do that, I was thinking of every 30 days ask users for a 1$ optional, and they can disable this. Any ideas on how to do this without bothering users would be awesome too!

If the file extension is changed from .nex to .xpi, Opera extensions can be directly installed through about:debugging. 👍

Oh wow super cool thanks for that note! Excuse my delay I'm so swamped by work even working on weekends right now. :(

Maybe now is a good time to bring up this issue again.

I havent got any ideas yet :(

Need one that can apply to chrome/opera/edge too. :)

Universal WebExtensions Installer?

That's a cool name @hermansje thanks! I think we can build on the "Universal" thing, the word "WebExtensions" is actually getting deprecated by Firefox itself so we should probably also not take that up. Maybe even Universal Extension Installer. Or Extension Store Universalizer. Awesome brainstorming thanks for joining in.
