Chrome extension is no longer available #74

Open juliocoliveira opened 1 year ago

juliocoliveira commented 1 year ago

The link on the readme / description for the Google Chrome page is giving error 404

muleyo commented 1 year ago

Hey, yes that's because the extension received a fake DMCA and got taken down by Google. I've already contacted Google, hoping that they'll realize..

@cleanlock will it auto-update for the ones that initially installed via chrome store? Or must we update manually until it goes live on the store again?

No store page means no automatic updates. Browser extensions carry no other means to update themselves for regular end-users, so the only update mechanisms are those provided by the vendor(i.e. Chrome/Edge webstore). Unless you use a browser that's compatible with more than one store you'll have to either install manually or wait till the extension is reinstated in the store you installed it from.

I think is best to reupload the extension to google chrome store, i got an extension taken down, i sent for review, passed years, it is still down.

Jaladhjin commented 1 year ago

wouldn't making a userscript variant solve the store takedown issues?

1 that works with Grease/Tampermonkey.

Why the bs fearmongering about this in a comment section that's about a false DMCA claim(which might happen in the mozilla store just as well if the claimant cared about FF users)? Like literally why is it there's two hardcore Mozilla fanboys in the comments of this and the linked issue cluttering the discussion with factually inaccurate fanboy bs?

The Chrome extension is already on Manifest v3(literally one look into the code would've told you that), and sure, maybe it's not as easy to maintain as it used to be and that sucks, but this extension is by far not as majorly affected by the limitations of DNR as bigger content blockers.

And if anything Mozilla currently makes it harder for developers. Even on the current 107 they don't support MV3 Extensions. That forces extension devs to maintain two different versions which - depending on the complexity of the extension and the used APIs - can be a total PITA.

Not true as @izzy said already. (thanks for your very informing reply btw, appreciate it).

It's simply broken atm due to Twitch's most recent player update. I'll try to update whenever I have time, and as I've mentioned in another issue already: Feel free to contribute code. I'll review and merge it if it's fine.
