googleimagesrestored VS plasmo

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

Ooof!! It is an... interesting time right now in extensions land. The switch from MV2 to MV3 is a bit chaotic but hopefully tools like this (Bedframe) and tools like [Plasmo](https://github.com/PlasmoHQ/plasmo) start to inject some freshness in the space.

Shameless plug, but we built the Plasmo Framework to make that (and a lot more) super easy: https://github.com/plasmohq/plasmo

Thanks! We wrote a custom Parcel runtime [1] inspired by Parcel's HMR runtime (which was too bloated and buggy for us) that injects a web socket listener into the development build of the extension.

Whenever a bundle change happens, Parcel sends it the refresh message and it either does `chrome.runtime.reload()` or `location.reload()` depending on the context.
