googleimagesrestored VS example-chrome-extension

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

Shameless plug: I was totally dissatisfied with the state of extension documentation and tutorials, so I wrote a book on building Chrome extensions: https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/

I was enthusiastic enough about extensions that I decided to publish a book about building them: https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/

Browser extensions are severely underrated as a platform because they aren't sexy. For all that mobile devices have given us, so much of our work continues to be done using a desktop browser. Enhancements such as augmenting websites with widgets, supplying contextual information, and automating repetitive tasks using the authenticated session - when applied appropriately - can save someone hours every day.

Browser extensions. Not quite a website, not quite a mobile app, and surprisingly pervasive. Most people don't realize how incredibly powerful they are, even with manifest v3.

I almost fell out of my chair when I found out there were no books on how to build them, so I wrote one: https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/ It was incredibly enjoyable to go through the APIs and write about all the different crazy things they can do.

I was frustrated with the lack of resources, so I'm publishing a book on it: "Building Browser Extensions". Available later this year. https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/
