#browserextension — Public Fediverse posts

Didn’t expect this today.

Someone sent me a GitHub donation for WidePlayer, my open source browser extension.

I built it mostly because I wanted video playback on X to be a little less annoying on desktop.

So seeing someone support it, even in a small way, is honestly really nice.

Thank you :)

Try it here: https://wideplayer.com

And if you want to see the code, contribute, or just poke around: https://github.com/mixon00/wideplayer

I just launched a new browser extension: WidePlayer.

It makes video playback on X (Twitter) larger without forcing fullscreen, so you can still keep the post context and scroll normally.

I built it because I was tired of opening fullscreen for every short clip.

Oh, joy! 🍊 A browser extension named after breakfast juice promises to transform your Hacker News experience with the revolutionary technology of... inline replies. Because obviously, the existential crisis of our time is the millisecond delay in our HN interactions. 🙄

https://yomitan.wiki/ is SO USEFUL for learning japanese.... it tells you about inflections and explains them when you click on them, and also has an audio function!

10ten reader is awesome, but yomitan is leagues above even if it is a little more complicated to setup.

dunno if it's useful to anyone else but I discovered it last week and it's been significantly useful already.

Idea for a browser extension. You feed it all released files about Jeffrey Epstein, and when active it slightly modifies all the names of his friends and affiliates.

You go on Wikipedia to read about Noam Chomsky? No, you won't. You'll be reading about "Noam 'friend of Epstein' Chomssky"!

Well, it seems after 10k users the #Mozilla team does manual reviews for every new version of an add-on. I guess the releases for Media Downloader Unleashed are gonne take a little longer to roll out than before! Probably like a few weeks rather than a few minutes. But it should be fine. :blobCat_blush:
Next version : Download fom even more sites with, for example, the ability to copy authentication cookies that are sometimes required to access the media files! (When the site uses "credentials": " include" )

It took a while to get working, as HTTP Only cookies are usually not accessible, but I found a way!

Crazy idea for a browser extension: Every mention of a street name is detected and linked to that place in your map tool of choice. "street name x street name" gets detected and is linked to that intersection.

Would be gold for politicians and other people working on urbanization and regulations. And just engaged citizens reading news articles with no freaking map for some effing reason!

Started building some abstractions around indexeddb to use it as a cache for recently checked urls. This should reduce load on the API server, and cut down on bandwidth usage for clients.

Also implementing preloading the top reported domains when the extension starts up for the first time.

Launch HN: Tweeks (YC W25) – Browser extension to de-enshittify the web

Maybe, there should be a new #browserExtension like #SponsorBlock, #DeArrow, #CaptainFact, and #tournesol, to which people can upload their videos without #AI filters if they are affected by #YouTube's AI filters. Projects like #Piped and #Invidious could natively support this and directly play the non-AI impacted videos.

I've been doing some code quality stuff on my AI slop reporting web extension to make a better base for continuing development. I converted the project to #typescript to stop driving myself insane with some #JavaScript footguns. In the process I found out that source maps don't work for Web extension debugging in #Firefox, and ES Module imports don't work in content scripts. Nothing is ever easy, is it?
