Closed evakhoni closed 2 years ago

evakhoni commented 2 years ago

the chrome extension https://github.com/snytkine/staying_alive that this one got an inspiration from, is officially dead. is there any plans porting session alive to chrome then? as many complain there isn't a direct alternative on chrome at this point

I believe you can download the zip and load it into chrome like the comment above yours? or does that not work anymore https://github.com/snytkine/staying_alive/issues/24#issuecomment-777793882

well, you may still able launch it that way, lets say there are plenty of good reasons why you shouldn't.
p.s. its not for me, I'm on firefox@fedora

It was difficult as the extension was written from the ground up for firefox, as the firefox API was based on promise. Now with the new Manifest V3 of chrome, it is possible as it supports promise. I was able to rewrite it for chrome with minor modifications. I will commit it to git after some testing.

Nice! once ready, I'll let my chrome-using friends daily-drive it for a while, will report issues if any

I have committed the code to git and submitted the addon to the Chrome webstore. Today it was reviewed and approved. Please find the link below https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/session-alive/aodfoiacnmepndhojccepdcpmehjbham
