Hi !

I'm do not know much about browser add-on, but since I did not find any information in the Readme file, is there any way to use it in firefox ?

I'll be pretty much interested in using but i'm not an avid web developer.

In any case, the research and applications seems quite very interesting.

Unfortunately the extension relies on some Chrome specific internal APIs, so it won't on Firefox, which uses a different browser engine . It might work on Safari or Edge, as both use the same engine as Chrome.

In the long term, there is plan to migrate to the browser extensions API, which would allow the extension to work on all supported browsers (including Firefox). However, the API itself is not quite completed and we need to finish the Chrome extension first.

Please tell others about the extension. Maybe we can find someone that can help with the development that way.
