Migration to FF57 (WebExtensions) #5

Open FunkMonkey opened 7 years ago

FunkMonkey commented 7 years ago

This addon will most likely stop working in November, when FF57 is released. Do you have any plans to update to WebExtensions?

Thanks! Great Addon!

Unless there already is a WebExtension that has similar features, I will probably try to rewrite it as one. Not sure if it will be in time for FF57, though.

One problem is that the WebExtension API doesn't provide all the features CWWB needs.

Seems as if it is going to be implemented at some point, see here. Guess we will have to wait.

Thanks! :)

Thanks for pointing that bug out! I should probably wait for the new API instead of trying to implement a parallel cookie whitelisting mechanism in a WebExtension (which would result in a terrible user experience).

Yes. I totally agree!
