The amount of negative vs positive sentiment you see can be misleading. My sense is that a significant minority just don’t get on with them and make a lot of noise about them because the ecosystem sucks now if you don’t like hooks. While th

Interesting, I had assumed it wouldn't even allow uploading it if the manifest required that permission. Hope they allow it for you!

Hang on do you mean to say the web store might accept an extension with `declarativeNetRequestFeedback` permission, it just might take longer and be less certain? I've got an extension that could potentially really benefit from using t

Most of them are lovely really, I was just kidding. I don’t even mind the ungrateful ones these days. The store reviews are like 95% people expressing gratitude, and the rest are people having a very bad day with the pixels and I feel for t

I believe in capitalism. I am 100% in favour of making money by offering something people are willing to pay for. Some extensions are monetizable by honestly asking users to pay for access. Mine just isn’t. It’s only as popular as it is bec

Convincing offers to buy it for $10-40K. One offer said $250K but I doubt that one was serious, more likely just a straight up scam. I have often emailed them back feigning interest to see if I can get them to state what they plan to do wit

FWIW, and since a few of you probably use it… I own the JSON Formatter extension [0], which I created and open-sourced 12 years ago and have maintained [1] ever since, with 2 million users today. And I solemnly swear that I will never add a

I like to have a calculator on my desk as a kind of ‘burst capacity’ for when I’m busy keeping an important mental process running. It’s like having a dedicated chip (with its own private chunk of RAM) optimised for simple arithmetic operat

Important to distinguish Bayesian epistemology (the idea that knowledge comes from induction) from Bayesian techniques in statistics. Karl Popper’s epistemology (critical rationalism) refutes the former, but does not mind the latter. Popp

Perhaps that was her reasoning, but it turned out to be a highly marketable look which would not have worked for someone without such a beautiful, feminine facial structure. What I respect her for is having the balls to make a political sta

I read it as good-humoured incredulity, something like: "This comment is so intriguingly bizarre, I don't where to begin making sense of it – can anyone explain?" Sounds like you read it as something like: "I am angry th

And as a frontend! I mean, I don’t mean this as a dunk, maybe it’s all cool with Supabase, but aesthetically it looks extremely similar, not just a little bit. Is that intentional? Do they encourage sharing their styles or something?

I agree it feels like something that could be abused, but not with the example you've given. It already only takes a tiny bit of CSS or JS to do those things you mentioned; no need to do anything complex with element canvases. So the r

Crazy that `element()` has been fully supported (with `-moz-`) in Firefox since 2011 while no other browsers seem to even partially support it [0]. I can think of a few powerful use cases (not just minimaps) if this had cross browser suppor
