Chrome only, that’s too bad

I agree. I'm a firefox guy myself and it's been painful shifting my workload to chrome for testing + developing this. The extension has a lot of browser engine complexity (and unfortunately us non-chromium folks seem to be a dying breed) so I haven't been able to justify implementing cross-browser support yet. Hopefully soon!

You might be able to port it fairly easily, depending on the browser extension api's you are using.

Web extensions API is emerging and a lot of it is already somewhat standardized https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...

Just some different fields in the manifest, and there are specifics that work completely different or are not available (for example favicons).

I have tried Chrome -> Firefox before and it was surprisingly easy. Safari is more difficult in my experience, it's missing complete API's like the bookmarks one.

Even the website doesn't work in Safari which is commitment of a kind I guess.

Firefox (et al) have ublock origin, which can do some of these things out of the box by including various annoyance lists.

It makes sense for a startup to launch on the most popular browser at first.
