Allow configuring default block explorer #10478

Open danfinlay opened 3 years ago

danfinlay commented 3 years ago

Currently we allow configuring a block explorer on custom RPCs, but not for our stock networks. Would be nice to let users choose alternative block explorers there.

I'm playing around with comparing to see if two different block explorers show the same things when I look at an account's history. It would be cool to have this feature.

A slight extension (not imperative) would be two identical networks with everything the same but the explorer. Alternatively, allow me to specify two (or more) explorers for a given network and then show me multiple choices on the main page. (Or a popup to choose between them from the front page.)

I'd like to switch from Infura to Alchemy for my Ethereum Mainnet's RPC endpoint. Is there currently a way to do this?

Bump. I thought that configuring block explorer was only restricted on Ethereum (ChainID 1) however, I have had requests to create an issue to allow configuration of block explorer for Ethereum and I suppose any other default or stock networks.

Is there any more immediacy to do this than there was is 2021? I would think so.

I found the culprit: https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/blob/2d282ef25dc2b746180b530850a587c06e33be38/ui/pages/settings/networks-tab/networks-tab.js#L35-L39

Basically default networks are given a viewOnly=true boolean in order to make it uneditable.

I have created a PR to affect this change ^
