If you are referring to browser add-ons (and not Plugins), the future couldn't be brighter: Multiple vendors, including Mozilla and Microsoft, are converging on a "Web Extensions" standard that is based on the Chrome extension API (but neither a strict subset nor superset). Hence, it is far easier to write extensions for multiple browsers with a (largely) single codebase.
- apjana 10y agoYes, I meant add-ons. Thanks, I'll check it out.
- fbender 10y agoIf you miss any necessary APIs, contact the Mozilla folks working on the Firefox implementation of WebExtensions (e.g. via bugzilla.mozilla.org). They are usually pretty reactive to (sensible and well thought out) proposals to extend the API capabilites (and reduce the gap to their other APIs). If you need any help, drop me a message @fbender_dev on Twitter or @fbender on Github.
- apjana 10y agoThanks for the info though I can't promise anything on this yet because of other stuff in plate. I am looking for consistent contributors (like I have on `googler`) but still not at that stage. If you are really interested, please feel free to contribute.
