Hi,

I use your extension with Firefox. These days, I am thinking about using Chrome or maybe Edge by default for my website development when I'm working on the template. So, I installed your extension on the latest version of Edge to check if it would work. It's still working with my local server, but the style of the window to add a new URL is buggy, as you know.

Do you plan to maintain it or not? I can't deal without your extension. Otherwise, pressing the refresh key in 2024 drives me crazy, and the time interval to refresh the page I am working on is unbearable. I can't believe that this kind of feature isn't implemented natively by browsers.

Please let me know, thx!

I'm not planning to maintain, sorry! Releasing a small fix requires me to update to addon manifest v3, which requires a big rewrite that I don't have time for.On 14 Jul 2024, at 19:45, arnofly @.***> wrote: Hi, I use your extension with Firefox.

I understand. Google keeps reinventing the wheel, and it’s really frustrating. They forget that developers create extensions in their free time and that we have lives outside of tech. No one wants to redo the same work ten times! It annoys me.

I work on a local server and use NetBeans or VSCode, depending on what I'm working on. With PHP, I still prefer NetBeans. I tried the Live Server extension on VSCode, but it doesn't read the .htaccess file. Do you have any advice for an alternative approach I could take?

Thx for your reply.
