I hope you carry on with this project. If there's any search engine that can beat Google (long into the future) it's a P2P one.
Speaking of the devil, are you aware you can't install extensions from 3rd party sources anymore at all? You can thank Google for this idiotic and completely self-interested move.
- juretriglav 12y agoThanks for the kind words! Whether or not I'll carry on with this project depends to a large degree upon how well it is received within the community and how many master hackers I can get to collaborate with. Though I have to say, it has been the most fun project to date, that's for sure. With regards to extensions, yes, I agree that's silly, but it's their game, so ... I could still install the extension manually on my Chrome for Mac though. I think the limitation is Windows only? Anyway, I'll work on getting this ready for the Chrome web store, so as to remove any barriers that currently exist. Before I launch on the store, I'd like to be reasonably sure that I'm not breaking any laws and that it works like it should. :)
- gorhill 12y agoIf you make your extension available as a plain zip file, people can download it, unzip it, and then use the "Load unpacked extension..." feature available if "Developer mode" is checked. So it's definitely still possible to use extensions on Windows without going through the store.
