Hey there @jfkz , I'm interested in your project, and as I have experience programming (C, Go, Python and NodeJS) I'd love to contribute in my free time (I don't have much, but I could spare an hour here and there).

So here are some questions I have first:

  1. Is this up-to-date or is it in need of an overhaul?
  2. Can chess websites detect this plugin, and if they can, how do they do it?

I'd be able to help make this project use a WASM version of Stockfish: https://github.com/niklasf/stockfish.wasm (this will be a lot faster than a pure JavaScript version).

Hi 👋 . It's up now for Chess.com (works for rapid and blitz modes).

It's totally outdated for lichess.com, but might work, cuz lichess author does great job when made his site interface.

I removed extension from Chrome Store, cuz both sites started tracking his id and blocked it. Lichess also checks some page manipulations.

If you want to try it, you can load it as unpacked extension in Chrome and start some blitz games on Chess.com
