Hi again,

just a quick heads up to let you know that I've been able to install BPIP in Tor Ver 10.0.11 - the previous few versions of Tor wouldn't permit the instillation.  I've been trying it out with just about every featured toggled to on and the information seems to load fairly quickly.

Oh okay. I guess you programmed to extension in Javascript. Isn't there a lib or something that converts any kind of date format into a timestamp? From time to time I code in Python and there is such a lib you can use.

I'm sure there is one but using 3rd party libraries in extensions is frowned upon and I think it would still have a problem automatically figuring out if 2.3.2021 is February 3rd or March 2nd.

But dealing with custom ones is a bit tricky so I'm not even trying.

Not sure, if it is a bug.

Kind of. I have implemented all predefined date formats:

But dealing with custom ones is a bit tricky so I'm not even trying. For example I can't automatically determine if it's d.m.y or m.d.y. I'll try to think of something. Maybe I should at least attempt it if there is a 4 digit year and one of the other numbers is >12. There is also some inference possible from the fact that ratings are sorted by date.

I got the following message after awarding merits to a user.



Not sure, if it is a bug. I use the following date format: DD.MM.YYYY, HH:MM:SS

It's the first time I've noticed this and haven't made any changes to my board settings recently.

I don't think trust list is needed to be inside BPIP extension, but I would much more like to see more options to hide stuff, like topics, posts and boards.
Current ignore/hide options in forum are fine but I feel they can be improved a lot with this extension.
I can for example hide all Alternate cryptocurrencies boards with -/+ and I would like to have something like this for separate boards and posts if possible.
If testing is needed I can help using test extension version.

Just to follow up, personally I appreciate privacy far more than any features.
Any invasive functionality should have explicitly defined terms of use that need to be accepted by the user before processing any data.

we can't really cache it much or at all - the list needs to be as near real time as possible.
You'll only need to update the cache when the user visits his Trust settings, right? If the extension can detect that you'll know when to update it.

Unless they make some changes in another browser, e.g. on a phone.

Now to be fair, a server-side API wouldn't be bulletproof either - it would have to refresh user trust lists often enough to keep up with the changes - but it could also do some other nifty things, like tell you if the user is in your trust network N levels down and not just directly in your trust list.

Another option would be to find a way to determine if the user is in your list without calling an API but I don't see how that could be done.

Still technically an API (client-side), but could something like IndexDB be used?  The extension would just be pulling the trust list from whoever is logged in, I don't think it would need to know who is logged in?

There is generic object storage available (we use it for settings) so that part is not an issue. But (a) to check the trust list we would need to open a new tab, sort of like it's done with the locked thread quoting - except this would be done without the user clicking something, and (b) we can't really cache it much or at all - the list needs to be as near real time as possible.

Can the extension get the Trust list from Trust settings and store it in a cookie or something? Maybe only when the user clicks to request (and update) this feature?

It would be nice if the extension could show whether a user is on your trust list or not..

Sorry, I meant to reply to this but just now found the post among 100+ open tabs Grin

The problem with this kind of feature is privacy. We would need to find out who the extension user is and call an API with that user's ID. We might eventually implement this sort of more invasive features - along with mention notifications etc - with ample warnings but for now it's not a high priority.

wow! The new update is working better for me in chrome without any issue or lag. And one by one update this Extention is going stronger to strongest. There is no doubt that it is so much hard job by the team behind it. And It's now more helpful after adding Ninjatic.space Smiley

That is so nice and discrete, and it actually works very well so far in my testing, but I will report here if I find any bugs.
Keep up the good team work Wink

Version 2.2.5 is now available for Firefox. As usual, Chrome version may lag by a day or two.

Already working in Chrome just FYI.

This is a very powerful tool (well I mean the fact that 3 separate tools are now more conveniently at ones disposal than ever).

I just hope that it is used for good and not evil.

I know about BlockCypher but Mempool is much better and they also have api: https://mempool.space/
and I wanted to have something like this in one simple browser extension

The good thing is that with both BlockCypher and Mempool having API, a user could select from either should the powers that be choose to go with our suggestions.

If you're using a version that has "(test version)" in its title you should probably uninstall it and get the stable version as described in the OP.
