Warning for anyone using this extension (or any extension really) with mobile Firefox: Mozilla is rolling out an updated version of their browser that seems to allow only "recommended" extensions, which the BPIP extension isn't and probably won't ever be. So if this is important for you - might wanna hold off that Firefox update, or perhaps this is a good opportunity to switch to Tor Browser.

Well this is awkward:

I just installed Tor under your suggestion @suchmoon only to find that it's a mozilla/firefox product. So, although the Tor Browser sounds interesting, why should I install a different version of mozilla/firefox if it won't accept an extension (BPIP) that isn't "recommended"?

(And yes, that really is a screen grab from a Tor Browser).

Hi guys, me again.

I have another suggestion which already has interest in the thread I originally made it in.

Would it be possible to have a Firefox add-on button similar to the BPIP one on a user's profile page that takes you to the corresponding trust page for that week?

It would be great if the BPIP extension can include this. I suggest you suggest it in that topic

Can you implement HTTPS in your website?

I've had the suggestion before, but never got the time (or motivation) to implement it. I was hoping to have some time today, but things turned out differently.

I've installed the BPIP extension on mobile/portable device + tablet + PC and even on a "Portable Apps" version of Firefox without incident (and was the first to find an actual fault which was very quickly fixed) so no, I can't see that there's an issue with the extension. Trying istalling a spell checker or some other extension and see if it's your browser that is at fault.

Initscri was talking about Safari. Mobile Safari doesn't support browser extensions. Mobile Firefox is fine so that's pretty much the only solid option for mobile users.

Yes, in a 'round about way that's why I was trying to convey. I'll be a little more clearer next time.

To be fair, it's impossible to implement on mobile/tablets, so that's a majority of the Safari population there.

Could technically port it to a TamperMonkey script and run it for all non-supported browsers (Edge, Safari, etc)

There is no limitations of a mobile browser like Firefox to your desktop Firefox except for the hardware it is running on. All extensions that I have tested on Firefox mobile has worked without any faults. The biggest problems will be resolution and ui problems and the ram issue if its ram intensive.

Suchmoon is a kind of loser normie that checks on instagram unfollowers but kinda Bitcointalk version. But no, that’s not the ultimate goal within this spying cHeCk mY MeRiTs app. Is it?

umm.. you do realize the extension doesn't even report anything related to merit at the moment.. merit count is part of the forum itself.
Nice review you've done, /sarcasm.

Because nobody gives a fuck if Satoshi is inactive or how many merits you have.

And again, merit counts are part of the forum itself... and the extension does more than report inactivity.
Stop killing your brain cells man, come back to reality!

Sane people.. just read the OP.

Whatever, it still does not change the fact that it is useless and waste of time to use. Because nobody gives a fuck if Satoshi is inactive or how many merits you have. It is just that no useful data can be obtained from this extension and since not everyone can read code, it is not safe to use this extension just to look for instagram-like statistics about random forum users.

Thanks for looking out for everyone. You shouldn't use this (or any other) browser extension if you don't trust the developer, regardless of its appeal.

dare him/her/it to disclosure the code

Source code of the extension is not hidden or obfuscated in any way. You can see it via developer tools in the browser or by downloading and unzipping the file.

Well, it is not publicly published as link to github or something here in OP.

No wonder this is just a innocent statistical extension. Suspicious? Take Suchmoon’s word for it. Or dare him/her/it to disclosure the code.

Whatever.

I had a feeling that might be the case - my coding skills are ancient, so I'd need someone's help with the right code if it were possible. Fortunately, my scores are pretty much as high as they'll go, so I only have to up the scores once in a while (maybe fortnightly).

Thanks again.

How could I do an API (or as a Firefox extension for that matter) so my scores update on the fly in my signature:

I had something like that set up to rotate personal text (under the avatar) but some website update broke the primitive parser I was using and I kinda abandoned it.

Unfortunately it's pretty much impossible to implement this as a third-party API/service because it would need your username/password. A browser extension could technically update it as it already has access to Bitcointalk pages but you would have to roll your own - BPIP Extension won't be touching personal info any time soon.

I'm taking OmegaStarScream's suggestion posted in Viewing unedited/deleted posts (search per post, per user or per topic) here:

Quote from: OmegaStarScream on April 27, 2020, 11:16:54 AM

A suggestion... Have you thought about making a browser extension? I think it would be nice if we could access the archived posts directly from the forum's posts instead of having to manually check every post.

Sorry I missed this older post, but could you and SM work together on one extension?

I don't think suchmoon wants to get involved in archiving posts, but if there is any interest, I can create a list of all posts in my archive.
I know nothing about making browser extentions Tongue

I think Edge is supposed to be compliant with WebExtension API + promise polyfill, which we already use for Chrome... never tried it though.

The new Edge is chromium based, so I think there will be no problem.

Quote

The new Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. Downloading the browser will replace the legacy version of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 PCs.

~~I don't know if you can easily list your extension in MS Store, and I am not sure if it is necessary or not... I don't use Edge, just installed to test~~

EDIT AND UPDATE:
Just installed BPIP extension in the new Microsoft Edge.

You can download it in Chrome Web Store.

No, and it's unlikely that we would have time to implement it since Safari doesn't use the same APIs as Chrome or Firefox, plus what Initscri said about mobile browsers.

(just some feedback) I have a mobile phone and tablet (android) that both run Firefox and don't have any issues with the BPIP extension. It might pay to encourage people to try a new browser?

If I haven't missed anything, BPIP extension works on Firefox and Chrome browsers now, it's not available on Safari. I don't know have many forum users use Apple devices, but probably it would be good to have this extension for Safari.

To be fair, it's impossible to implement on mobile/tablets, so that's a majority of the Safari population there.
