firefox-easy-container-shortcuts VS googleimagesrestored

Browser extensions are useful. I've made some simple ones and published a few:

But it's also worth considering where the browser gives priority. For example, while browser extensions can add custom keyboard shortcuts, they can't override the keybindings a website uses. Want to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-1 for a browser extension while a Google Docs page is focused? Nope, sorry, can't be done.

It's pretty clear that while a browser extension can access browser APIs that a web app can't, the extension is still a second-class citizen in other respects.

i very much care about supporting firefox users. for example, i maintain a separate, mozilla-signed, manifest v2 version of an XPI of an extension i made [0] just so firefox users can keep using it. i do so even though this compromises my own ideals about not wanting to use 2FA out of principle.

if you use ublock origin, you can permanently remove pinterest results in google images with the following filter:

www.google.com##.isv-r:has-text(/pinterest.com/)

shameless plug: i've been maintaining a browser extension for a couple of years called 'google images restored' [0] which reverts google images to how it was before 2019. that extension, mixed with the ublock origin filter removing unwanted domains (pinterest, alamy, 123rf, etc), makes google images enjoyable again for me.

Not an answer, but for context, the author removed the extension from AMO to avoid the requirement to use multi-factor authentication on their Firefox account: https://github.com/fanfare/googleimagesrestored/commit/8e77eb0e4314df9a64c8d3df2eb04c9868795085
