Turns out it's only for Chrome, and the front page doesn't even mention this. Could we at least change the HN title from "A browser plugin..." to "A Chrome plugin..."?

Also, why do they FORCE you to turn over your email in order to get info on the plug in - - or to receive the plug in ? Why not post the plug in and allow mass distribution ? I suspect these folks are just going to use my email for more of the same as the marketers . . . I guess I could register a "burner" email that is useless except for Noiszy . . . .

@stevespang they don't force you to. There's a button labeled "get the plugin" that takes you to the chrome plug in store. Then below that there's a for labelled "Connect" which allows you to subscribe to their mailing list.

It's hosted on Chrome Web Store, but otherwise it could very well work just fine in Edge, Opera and even possibly Firefox. They're all converging toward supporting WebExtensions, a mostly-Chrome compatible API.

  Could? or does?

    Didn't try. It almost definitely will work on Opera since Opera is based on Chrome and there's ways to install straight from the Chrome App Store. If the author released a direct download, it'd be easy to test in Firefox and Edge.

OK, we've made that update to the submission title.
