- lupire 6y agoWhat's funny about that? They are much harder to test while making changes.
- curryst 6y agoBrowser extensions seem at least an order of magnitude more complicated (at least as an outsider, I've never worked with them). It's like if you ask a friend to help you hammer a nail and they're like "Oh, cool, lemme fire up this robot I built to just nail in all the nails for us! Ah wait, I have to plug it in. Screw it, I'll just use my hammer." It's not funny because it's wrong, it's just funny because it feels like one of these things is not like the other.
- ufmace 6y agoThey're really not actually. To turn your userscript into an extension, you just save the code to a single file on disk in a new folder, then create a manifest.json file with like a dozen lines, and load the folder as a development extension.
