Localization/Translation

This extension is setup to be fully localized/translated into multiple languages, but for now English is the only language with full translations. If you are able to help localize/translate, please check out this guide. All of the text for the extension is stored here in the /public/_locales directory.

Building the Extension

This extension uses WXT for development and build processes.

To build the extension from source code, you will need to use Node Package Manager (npm), which handles all of the dependencies needed for this project and is used to execute the various scripts for development/building/packaging/etc.

npm install

Then you can run the development process (where the extension is auto-reloaded when changes are made) for your browser of choice:

npm run start:chrome
npm run start:firefox

Or you can generate a production build for your browser of choice:

npm run build:chrome
npm run build:edge
npm run build:firefox

Development Process

To make development easier, you can start up a temporary development profile on Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome with the extension already loaded. The browser will also automatically detect changes and reload the extension for you.

Firefox:

npm run start:firefox

Chrome:

npm run start:chrome

Browser Manifest Compatibility

Chrome and Edge use Manifest V3, while Firefox remains on Manifest V2 and requires Firefox 117 or later. All three builds use the same implementation: after a context-menu click grants temporary activeTab access, the background script injects the shared content script into the clicked frame with scripting.executeScript(). This avoids requesting permanent access to every site.

The temporary grant does not guarantee access to cross-origin child frames. Supporting those frames would require broad or user-approved host access.

Before publishing a browser build, run the automated checks and the manual browser checks.
