Settings in Site ported to Extension

Open ghost opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

It would be great to have this feature. If I do have saved all settings in Webpage saved using Cookies, I think that the extension could use it and apply those Settings to the embedded Videos in other sites.

This could be possible as, Piped has already this Permission - Access your data for all web sites in the extension.

I noted in CCleaner that Piped does make a cookie this when it replaces the Video Embed.

Scrrenshot 119 So, I think that this cookie can be used to apply settings in Embeds too.

Piped doesn't use cookies, so it's likely some other application that created it.

~~Yes, as you said Piped doesn't use cookies but I think that the embeds could use the cookies if we saved them for Preferences.~~

Okay, Completely erase the above what I said, I have an Idea, What about having an Options/Preferences page in Piped Extension, Which will apply the Settings to the embeds. So, No connection need to be made between the Site and Extension. I think this could work.

As in Firefox, it uses dFPI (dynamic First Party Isolation) which might might interfere and might make an issue.

In short, Settings in Site copied to Extensions, which will apply those to the embeds replaced.

What do you think ?
