Merge with the new version of userChrome.js (v1.4) #2

Closed Drugoy closed 13 years ago

Here is a new version of userChrome.js: http://downloads.mozdev.org/userchromejs/ And here on AMO ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uc/versions/ ) I see the last version of uc dated May 27, 2011. So obviously you need to merge with a newer version of userChrome.js

uc doesn't reuse userChrome.js code. Are you having specific issues with the current version on AMO?

Drugoy commented 13 years ago

I just knew about userChrome.js and I tried to find out what this is. While trying to understand what this extension does do - I've found your extension, which is hosted on AMO and it's description is the following: "A userChromeJS clone with built-in subscript/overlay loader capability.", so I thought that userChrome.js is not developed anymore and you are the one who maintains the same project under the different name. userChrome.js is not hosted on AMO (which is strange, but acceptable), also it appeared that it's development hasn't stopped. I thought that you are not aware of that information and that's why I created this issue to notify you.

Now when you are saying that uc and userChrome.js are different projects (but just do the same thing), I would like to understand what's the difference between them to choose a better one. Could you please provide some comparison of these 2 extensions?

In short, userChromeJS + subscriptoverlayloader.js.

This formula means that your extension reuses userChrome.js code, but you said it doesnt. Now when there are newer releases of userChrome.js your description became outdated. And in your description there is a link to subscriptoverlayloader.js which leads to an image (maybe the site is temporary out of service, or the link is dead [maybe for long ago]).

Nope. It's merely a quick description of what it does, for audiences who know those two.

...and it's useless for the ones who don't know those two. That's why I asked you to provide some comparison. As I understood - you are not trying to help me here.
