Preston Maness ☭Ok. Just culled ~20,000 of 25,000 <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/tumblr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tumblr</a> posts accumulated via <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/RSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RSS</a> over a month. I've gotta get to work on my own project applying basic statistics to this stuff. Think "reverse chronological + $all_your_own_filtering_and_sorting_and_bucketing". Not sure if I should do that within the confines of a <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/thunderbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thunderbird</a> add-on, or try some other approach. I really, really want to be able to use <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/sql" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sql</a> for this stuff. It's a natural fit. But <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/sqlite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sqlite</a> seems to be a no-go for <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/WebExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebExtensions</a>. There is only <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/IndexedDB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndexedDB</a>, which, in my limited experience with it, is absolute garbage to work with.

Timothy HatcherLots of great <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WebExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebExtensions</a> features and fixes just went out with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Safari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Safari</a> 18.4 for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a> 15.4, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iOS</a> 18.4, and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/visionOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visionOS</a> 2.4 — including new WebKit APIs, temporary installs on macOS, and support for Developer ID–signed apps.<a href="https://webkit.org/blog/16574/webkit-features-in-safari-18-4/#web-extensions" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://webkit.org/blog/16574/webkit-features-in-safari-18-4/#web-extensions</a><a href="https://webkit.org/blog/16574/webkit-features-in-safari-18-4/#:~:text=was%20thrown.%20(112178073)-,Web%20Extensions,-Fixed%20CORS%20for" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://webkit.org/blog/16574/webkit-features-in-safari-18-4/#:~:text=was%20thrown.%20(112178073)-,Web%20Extensions,-Fixed%20CORS%20for</a>

FirefoxDevToolsLet's continue with updates for version 135 which improved WebExtension debugging, added information for CHIPS cookies and provided a new `$$$()` helper in the console: <a href="https://fxdx.dev/firefox-devtools-newsletter-135/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fxdx.dev/firefox-devtools-newsletter-135/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firefox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/devtools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#devtools</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cookies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cookies</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/webExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webExtensions</a>

Jan PenfratI decided to write a <a href="https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thunderbird</a> extension that allows saving contact data from sender and recipients directly into <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/CiviCRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CiviCRM</a>.Now I realise that this involves learning <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/JavaScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JavaScript</a>, <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Thunderbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thunderbird</a>'s <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/WebExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebExtensions</a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/API" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#API</a>, CiviCRM's API, <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/REST_api" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#REST_api</a> plus refreshing my <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HTML</a> and <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/CSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CSS</a> skills.What have I gotten myself into? 😱

Simeon.__proto__<a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/webextensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webextensions</a> devs, what are your biggest frustrations with day to day development?

Dave MackeyAuto <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/extension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extension</a> manager now shows you the permissions granted to each extension you have installed. Sometimes the scope on these things is ridiculously wide...and sometimes an optional permission request may be accepted by someone else using your browser and so what was an acceptable scope grows silently (at least as far as you know):<a href="https://github.com/davidshq/auto-extension-manager" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/davidshq/auto-extension-manager</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#browser</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#security</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/webextensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webextensions</a>

Deekshith AllamaneniConsent-O-Matic is a browser extension that auto-responds to all the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GDPR</a> and similar consent popups with optimal user preferences.Unlike the extension "I don't care about cookies" which just accepts all cookies, Consent-O-Matic clicks the prompts on your behalf to reject most of the cookies. You can also choose what to accept/reject in the preferences.Available for Firefox, Chrome and others.I've been using this on Firefox :firefox: for quite sometime now and it works great!Their Github page has links to official extension stores: <a href="https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic#introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic#introduction</a><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AMO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMO</a> link: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/</a><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/webextensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webextensions</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/addons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#addons</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/addon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#addon</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/extension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extension</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chrome</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firefox</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/safari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#safari</a>

Jeremiah LeeImportant Tab Tosser update (v3.3.0) fixes a bug that could result in more tabs being tossed than intended.I recommend manually checking for updates to get it sooner than Mozilla rolls out extension updates.This bug accelerated the release of some planned changes for v4, such as the simplified setting aligned with Mobile Safari's implementation of closing ignored tabs.<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-tosser/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-tosser/</a><a href="https://alpaca.gold/tags/TabTosser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TabTosser</a> <a href="https://alpaca.gold/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://alpaca.gold/tags/WebExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebExtensions</a>

Simeon.__proto__It bothers me that <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/WebEtension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebEtension</a> and <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/webextensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webextensions</a> are two distinct tags. The flow of a sentence might make singular or plural more appropriate, but when I go looking for posts about this topic I have to make sure to search both. That bit of <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/MastoUX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoUX</a> isn’t great

Jeremiah LeeTab Tosser v3 released today!• Firefox 109+ required, as it now uses WebExtensions Manifest v3• Default tab ignore time is now 3 days• Max ignore time reduced to 3 weeks, as Firefox is updated every 4• Post-install page more explicit about action required• Removed `management` permission requestThis is mostly a maintenance release. A bigger update is planned for v4 in response to how Firefox's UI has evolved over the last 4 years. <a href="https://alpaca.gold/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://alpaca.gold/tags/WebExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebExtensions</a><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-tosser/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-tosser/</a>

Just need the frameworks to release their extensions now.

Jeremiah LeeI updated Tab Tosser to support Manifest V3, but Mozilla AMO recommended I not release it yet.Firefox 109 is the first version to support Manifest V3 and it just came out 2 weeks ago. In the spirit of supporting “current version - 1”, I will wait to update Tab Tosser until Firefox 110 is released on February 14.<a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/extensions-addons/heres-whats-going-on-in-the-world-of-extensions/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/extensions-addons/heres-whats-going-on-in-the-world-of-extensions/</a><a href="https://www.jeremiahlee.com/tab-tosser/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.jeremiahlee.com/tab-tosser/</a><a href="https://alpaca.gold/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://alpaca.gold/tags/WebExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebExtensions</a>
