soundfixer VS web-ext

Sound fixer - useful for these video with only one audio channel

There are browser plugins that do this in the browser itself with 1-2 clicks, much faster than going through settings. The one I use on Firefox is this one, but there were a few more when I searched for it. It also applies the changes per tab so you don't have to change anything back after you're done watching the video.

I’ve been pretty happy with web-ext, I’m curious what abstractions and configurations Extensions.js avoids comparatively. I’m assuming you’ll still need a manifest.json, and it looks like both use npm/package.json for dependencies.

As of October 2022, that’s “not planned”:

Yes, web-ext https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext does this.

Anyone used this and could compare/contrast with https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext ?

> On a side node, if anyone has resource about how to dev/debug userscript properly, I'm all ears. I found it super inconvenient and tedious when doing it myself, and I often have to manually copy paste stuff back and forth.

Develop it as an extension with the script as your content_script, and use web-ext [1] to run it. You can then develop in your regular editor, use your browser's extension debugging tools, and web-ext will automatically reload it when you change stuff.

Most of my extensions use a .user.js file as their content_script, which I can also publish directly to Greasy Fork.
