Demo / Screenshots

Setup

Requirements

• node
• yarn
• python3 ≥ 3.6 (for zip builds)
• web-ext (if developing in Firefox)

Installation

Install dependencies first with:

yarn

Making Changes

Edit the files using any code editor. To watch for changes and re-bundle automatically, run:

yarn watch

For a one-time build, use:

yarn build

Running in Firefox

Install web-ext separately (not as a dependency). Then, run:

yarn webext

This uses a separate Firefox profile in ../GT.p and automatically reloads the extension upon changes. For unsigned builds, run:

yarn build`
Then install the generated zip into Firefox Nightly or Unbranded builds.

### Running in Chrome/Chromium
After building:
*   Enable Developer Mode in Extensions.
*   Use "Load Unpacked" to open your build directory.

### Making Release Zips
Create unsigned zips for all browsers with:
```bash
yarn build

For official release mode:

python3 util/build.py --mode=release

Outputs go in web-ext-artifacts.

• -fx.zip: Firefox
• -crx.zip: Chrome/Chromium
• -opr.zip: Opera
