10 years ago Thanks for your idea. As JSDetox is implemented in Ruby and additionally relies on different libraries, this would require an enormous effort and there are some features that would be quite hard to implement as a browser extension. Porting JSDetox to another platform is beyond the scope of this project and I would rather choose to invest the needed time to implement new features into the existing code base.
To analyse and debug websites there is a great addon for firefox out there called firebug ( https://getfirebug.com/ ) In its 2.0 release they added quite a few things to help with minified and obscured javascript. Adding linebreaks and debugging spawned functions is nice, but i think it would be nice if jsdetoc would come to aid and extend this a little bit more. JSDetox does a good job at cleaning up code and firebug would bring it's debugging abilities to the team and you would not have to manually interfere with code that much that relies on html structure. What would you say about making this an extension for firebug or even extend it by default with this tools abilities?
