Extension for Mozilla Firefox

[geckguy]

We could create the same extension for Firefox, will the new ad-block changes coming there will be a lot of users shifting to Firefox from Chrome, so this would be a great addition.

Thats a great idea. I think we just need to modify the manifest.json and change Chrome API to firefox which is something like

chrome.storage -> browser.storage

Can i work on it?

[geckguy]

Should I maybe create a separate repo for the Firefox extension which points towards this repo

Sure thats a good idea. We could also use polyfill. Theres a few options here. Let me research it a bit more and I'll get back to you soon

Also, I'm in California so our time zones are opposites 💀

[geckguy]

Ahah, its fine. Get back to me whenever and ill proceed

[zubyj]

Yeah so I think we should go with this

WebExtensions Polyfill: This is a library developed by Mozilla that allows you to write code that is compatible with both Chrome and Firefox. By using the polyfill, your extension code will use browser-agnostic methods that work on both platforms. This can save you a lot of time and effort, as you won't need to write separate code for each browser.

We can copy what this repo is doing https://github.com/interstellard/chatgpt-advanced/

I think just all Ts files that use the chrome API need to be replaced with Browser

We can maybe add the following import to those files

import Browser from 'webextension-polyfill

This way it'll work on both chrome and firefox. What do you think? Lemme know if u find another idea. You can create a branch and get started if you want. I'll be here if you have any q's
