But if the extension is removed from the store you will not get updates.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io -2 points 2 months ago

Good thing you can add extensions from places other than the store.

[-] ivn@jlai.lu 2 points 2 months ago

But uBlock Origin does not set update_url in it's manifest.json so it won't update automatically. You'd have to do it manually every time.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io -3 points 2 months ago

Oh no, I guess it's impossible for that to ever change.

It's a good thing to be able to communicate without sarcasms when it's not called for.

But I don't think it'll change, feel free to try and make a PR but you'll also need to setup a server to host the releases and update.xml.

Not sure why the downvotes. I generally try to avoid extensions apart from ublock origin, but if I really need something, then I always get it from the developer's github, not from chrome/firefox store. WAY TOO MANY cases of open-source extensions getting hijacked with malware on the store but not on github. Remember cookies.txt? Or great suspender? Or stylish?
