    LOL I didn't mean it as a condemnation or that it was crap. Just that user counts are something I pay attention to when selecting an extension. Kind of like looking at GitHub stars and recent activity.

    What does your extension do? I've always wanted to try my hand at one for s&g. Was it difficult?

    No worries, I didn't take it that way.

    Mine injects some functionality in a specific government website that I frequently use so it's a very narrow use-case anyway. I only published it "because why not". Not going to link it because I did so under my real name to be able to add it to my CV.

    The main thing I had to wrap my head around was the difference between content and background scripts. Other than that, of course, reading the steps to publish the add-on at Mozilla.

    Understandable. I think we need all the functionality injected into government. LOL

    Sounds like I should put it on my reading list for when I'm in bed smoking a bowl before I retire for the evening.
