Hello, my friends.
Many Bitcoin forum members may know about the "Bitcointalk Extension" that works with the Chrome browser in this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5178297
The extension was developed by member mrvuit.
The extension had some great features for the forum, and I'd been using it for a long time. Unfortunately, the extension has become outdated and incompatible with Google Chrome. Therefore, It has been disabled and no longer works. It was also removed from the Chrome store.
The problem is that the member mrvuit who developed the extension was banned from the forum, so he ignored the extension and no longer works on updating it.
Since the extension is important to me and is open source, I decided to update it to be compatible with newer versions of Chrome.
So, with the help of the AI copilot "GPT-4.1," I upgraded the extension, making it compatible with Chrome and working well.
The main problem was that most of the older extensions were built on Manifest V2, but Google now only supports Manifest V3 in recent versions of Chrome. This required some basic modifications, including removing or modifying some features that were no longer supported in V3. For example:
"background pages" became "service workers".
Also, in V2, you could use an HTML page as a background, but in V3, you must use a "Service Worker" (a JavaScript file).
In addition, there were a few other modifications, all of which were successfully completed after a few attempts.
This is a screenshot of the extension:
The last version was 2.5 so I'll call this version 3.
*extension features with updates up to version 2.5:
- Change the theme
- Block the signature
- Block avatar
- Open external links in a new tab (Always on)
- Change the font size
- Enhanced Merit UI (Always on)
- Pin multiple posts or comments
- Show total merit in a post (Always on)
- Highlight your username in merit (Always on)
- Show icon go to top (Always on)
- Enhanced Report To Moderator UI (Always on)
- Show Bitcoin & Ethereum price
- Show total merit
- Highlight your username in merit, sort your username to first
- Show icon go to top
- Show Bitcoin & Ethereum price
The extension is still open source after modification and can be installed via the link:
https://github.com/yhiaali3/bitcointalk-script
The extension works with all browsers based on "Chromemui core" such as Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge
Unfortunately, I don't have a developer account on the Chrome Store, so I wasn't able to upload it. If a member does have an account there and can upload it, that would be great.
As I mentioned above, the extension is open source and was developed by member mrvuit. I only updated it. Any member can make any modifications they wish and update the extension so everyone can benefit.
If there are any errors, comments or suggestions for improving the extension, please post them here in the thread.
Thank you all.
