Chrome support?
Hi!
I've looked into cross-browser webextensions as well, I've seen that the webextension-toolbox is using polyfils for chrome. He's not using web-ext though, but maybe some ideas could be borrowed there.
I've also combined the docs for the native messaging paths (being multi-platform and multi-os) in this json file. Currently I have those from chrome, chromium and ff.
Cheers
Hey, some time ago, I've built a Chrome extension just like dat-fox
https://github.com/hughisaacs2/datpart
We should collaborate in some form.
@HughIsaacs2 yeah that would be cool. Most of the Firefox API I use can be polyfilled with webextension-polyfill. I'm not sure how easy it is to get the proxy behaviour on Firefox working on Chrome.
@sammacbeth the Proxy part was no problem, I figured that all out not long ago (honestly I find it easier to deal with on Chrome than on Firefox lol).
The issue was everything else lol.
What I was thinking is we should figure a way to keep compatibility with the app serving up the sites to the extensions, mine uses a TLD to ensure that the extension doesn't interfere with any regular web sites, so we're incompatible on the server part.
The rest shouldn't be too difficult since everyone seems to be tackling the same problems at the same time. You, the Bunsen guys, etc...
