cc @DNin01 it might be a good opportunity to rephrase things on this page, if we want.

@Hans5958 Is it easy to exclude this page from Google search results?

@Hans5958 Is it easy to exclude this page from Google search results?

I'd assume this could be accomplished fairly easily via robots.txt. I'm not entirely sure how we can add that but there might be helpful info here.

I forgot meta tags exist.

@Hans5958 Is it easy to exclude this page from Google search results?

You already asked for it years ago, and I have added robots_tag: noindex.

Sorry, I was thinking of excluding /welcome and /farewell. This page has already been noindex-ed for a while as you said. Off-topic then.

Pending tasks

• [ ] Suggested by DNin01: add a short explanation on how to disable the extension.
• [x] We should add <base target="_blank"> to this page, so that all links open in a new tab. We don't want users to navigate our website through the iframe.
• [x] We should send the (localized) tab title to the parent (the extension) so that the tab title can be set accordingly.

Are there any changes needed on the extension side? I pointed the link to localhost and increased the minimum browser version past the current release but the buttons don't show up.

Are there any changes needed on the extension side?

Yes. Those come later. If you want the buttons to show up, the easiest way is to un-comment line 3 of unsupported-browser.js

If the extension opens this page every time the browser is restarted, I would suggest also adding a link to or instructions on how to turn off the Scratch Addons browser extension on this page.

@DNin01 I'm not sure how to add this without filling the whole page. The exact instructions to disable an extension vary browser by browser.

Then the other options would be to only show this page once and never again or to have an option to remove the extension, calling uninstallSelf():

chrome.management.uninstallSelf({ showConfirmDialog: true });

I would merge this now, in the future we could add dynamic instructions on how to disable the extension by detecting the browser. We could also make sure this page doesn't open automatically by the extension unless we are sure an update just came out that transformed the extension from supported to unsupported.

Could you give me the latest screenshot?

Here is an updated screenshot.
