Upgrade to WebExtensions (with help!)

Open trlkly opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

There is a Chrome addon called that Comic Updater that works similarly to yours, but is less fully featured. (It doesn't prompt when running into collisions--it either just picks the one it things is best or returns an error.)

The extension is sadly no longer being developed. (It's manifest needs the "tabs" permission to work, which is an easy fix, but the developer hasn't fixed it.) But, since you have experience, I thought you might be able to update it and get it working for Chrome and Firefox.

Sorry if an issue is the wrong way to bring this up, but it seemed an easy way to talk about this. You mentioned that you were considering building a WebExtension, so I thought this might give you a leg up--even if you decide to only use it to help you get an idea of how to make a WebExtension version.

The actual code is quite short, I notice, suggesting it would not be hard to learn.

Do you know where its code is published?

Use the Chrome version, not the FIrefox version, which is an old XUL-style addon.

@dgutov, I really like your extension; it is the best fit for my need. I am hoping you will update it to support the quantum. Thank you for the excellent work.
