Helper app? #59

Closed olliebean closed 2 years ago

olliebean commented 2 years ago

So now I have to install a helper app to use this? That was never required before. Is it not possible to have an option for the previous mode of operation? I prefer not to install too many extra things on my computer.

Currently you may stay on version 1 indefinitely, just disable updates in the add-on settings at about:addons. Version 1 is available for download from this link.

Thanks, I have downgraded to v1. The release notes for v2 don't mention anything apart from the helper app - are there any other changes? Just wondering if I'm missing out on anything by not updating.

Currently, there are no new major features. The architectural choice with storage in IDB seems wrong in the current state of WebExtension API, and such storage scheme frustrated some users beyond words. Moving to the external storage will allow to abandon some backward-compatibility issues that hindered Scrapyard development.
