MS Edge compatibility #103

Open mazmazz opened 5 years ago

mazmazz commented 5 years ago

Closes #34. Edge loads this extension with the following changes:

manifest.json: Add author field
manifest.json: Add background.persistent = false
background.js: Define chrome.webRequest by pointing to browser.webRequest

It sideloads and works fine in all three browsers.

Packaging and submission info is here; ~~I haven't looked into this personally.~~ (edit: see comment, it works)

Edge extension packaging works. See test package: anti-paywall-9044fce.zip

I followed the instructions here:

Using ManifoldJS to create extension AppX packages
- More info about Dev Center identity keys: Creating and testing a Microsoft Edge extension AppX package
Create a certificate for package signing (You will not need to do this if submitting to the Windows Store)
Sign an app package using SignTool (Ditto)

For submission, you would need to provide the app icon at 44x44, 50x50, and 150x150. You would also need to sign up with Windows Dev Center and input the supplied Identity keys in the packaging step. See first link for more details.
