    An alternative that could interest you is SingleFileZ, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ. It produces self-extracting zip files that you can unzip in order to get the page and its resources (e.g. stylesheets, images, fonts) separately.

    I agree that browsers should offer an API in order to get all the resources easily. It would make things much easier. However, for security reasons, this API would be restricted to environments like Web Extensions. FYI, I also took another approach that might interest you, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ. The main drawback is that the HTML produced by SingleFileZ is not valid.

    If you do have files whose names begin with an ISO 8601 compliant date- or timestamp, the filenametimestamps module with do the trick. This way, I index all photographs, all web downloads, emails, usenet postings, ... just by choosing a specific file name prefix format. Same holds true for web pages which are automatically saved using SingleFileZ to files matching that filename prefix format. There you go, this is how I solve your original question.

    Google outlawing dynamic code in Web Extensions/mv3 is a travesty of high order. There's no place I want to be able to be more alive than my agents. Yet my agents must all be dead. For shame, ye villains.

    https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/139

    This post definitely was quite a technical explanation. The opening framing, to me, means the world.

  • Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 Is Deceitful and Threatening – EFF
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 17 Nov 2023
    The other big change of mv3 that gets no coverage but which is dear to me is that mv3 outlaws any kind of dynamic code. The whole app has to be statically defined. This makes it much easier to know what's running, since an extension can no longer go pull in extra code, but it greatly reduces what you can do as an extension too. Extensions have to have all behaviors predefined. I can't dial home & load my behaviors. Here's the issue, https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/139

    For a while it meant that userscripts didn't have any way to run. So Google introduced a new API for user scripting. But those extensions only run in "developer" mode. I'm guessing that means when devtools are open?

    I agree a lot with your premise. It sure seems like Google is targeting everyone with these changes, but that better real affordances & escape hatches need to be builtin to not maim the lives of power users. It took a long long time to come up with a userscript solution, and it seems like an awful doesnt-work-for-me workaround (I use userscripts not to dev but to modify everyday experiences). Chrome just hasn't been taking their obligation to user agency seriously.

  • Firefox users may import Chrome extensions now

    > the extension APIs are standardised enough that this is actually possible a lot of the time

    A bit off topic, but as a co-chair of the WebExtensions Community Group[1] (WECG) I'm a bit touchy about the calling WebExtensions "standardized." A few years back the Browser Extensions Community Group[2] created a spec for WebExtensions, but it never reached a state that we'd normally refer to as a web standard. (Technically W3C community groups can only produce "Reports" and these documents are not on the standards track.[3])

    FWIW, I'm very bullish about specifying and (hopefully) standardizing the WebExtensions platform. I'm especially excited about having a good chunk of dedicated time to sit with browser folks at TPAC 2023[4] and try to work out some open questions about where we're going and how we're going to get there.

  • uBlock Origin Lite now available on Firefox

    While I was trying to find out what Firefox's limits are I came across this interesting issue on the W3C's webextensions repo: https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/319

    4 days ago the Chromium developers proposed upping the limit for certain types of declarativeNetRequest rules based on data AdGuard provided on real world rule lists.

    Manifest v3 is used for Chrome's extensions system. The proposal appears to limit what extensions have access to, and what they can do in Chrome. It is proposed as a W3C standard by Google. It is being tracked at the W3C at https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/44.

    MV2 is sticking around until at least 2024.
