Sideloading Extensions #542

Open Thomas101 opened 6 years ago

Thomas101 commented 6 years ago

We're working on adding some proper developer support for sideloading extensions and getting them working in Wavebox. In the meantime, if anyone is keen to get started, we're happy to help and start the discussion. I've added some basic instructions and docs to help anyone. To sideload your first extension...

  1. Download the extension you want to install and extract it

  2. Open the Wavebox data directory then extensions > chrome

  3. Create the folder directory <extension_id>/<extension_version>_<revision> (e.g. abc123/1.2.3_0 (Note these must match what is listed in the extension manifest)

  4. Copy the extension content into the folder. It should now look something like this... screen shot 2018-01-22 at 11 17 23

  5. Add wavebox_extension_id to the manifest.json file. This should be the same as the chrome extension id. E.g. 

    "wavebox_extension_id":"kbfnbcaeplbcioakkpcpgfkobkghlhen"

  6. Restart Wavebox

Wavebox also supports some additional fields for customizing the behaviour of extensions. These are documented in this markdown document... extensions.pdf

@wishx @lots0logs We're busy working on a new extension framework. Bitwarden and a bunch of the other password managers are some of the extensions we've got in for the first run and working to push this out to the beta channel over the next couple of months once we've covered all the edge cases :-) . I don't want to say too much, but here's a little teaser...

What's the update on Bitwarden? I'm dying over here! :D :skull_and_crossbones:

Thomas101 commented 4 years ago

@wishx Bitwarden will be in the same release, so same timeframe. I'll post an update to this post and a few others when it's available to try :)

Any ETA? Would instantly upgrade to Pro if it would be possible to add any Chrome extension!

@Thomas101 Are we any closer ?

I've been following Wavebox closely since I stopped using it for this reason and would also return to wavebox and spring for the premium product if this was an option.

Sorry for the radio silence! We've been working on a preview version of Wavebox and we're looking for testers who are eager to give it a try. This has the extension support that I showed earlier ;-). If you're eager to give it a try there's some more info here https://github.com/wavebox/waveboxapp/issues/1128
