Firefox Extension #279

Open louy2 opened 6 years ago

louy2 commented 6 years ago

Seeing Chrome gets an extension and Firefox and Chrome have worked on a unified WebExtension framework, is it any time soon that we will get a Firefox extension? If not how may I help?

Hello @louy2. As of today, I am not sure an artoo browser extension is still relevant. Its single goal was mainly to shunt Content Security Policy HTTP headers so one can still inject artoo's code in any webpage. But since there exists such extension both on Chrome and Firefox nowadays, I am not sure an artoo extension is needed. What could be interesting, though, for this extension, would be browser automation to perform crawls and so on but I have no time nor the use case right now.
