Enhanced merit UI [1.1]

[dkbit98]

The extension stopped working both in Safari and Chrome.
I did notice today, as I haven't logged on my desktop for a while.
Apparently, there was an upgrade in Chromium that prevented it from working.
IS anyone able to fix it?

Nope, you have to switch to Firefox, Librewolf and similar forked browsers, or install older version of chrome browser.
Maybe there is a chance of brave browser (fork of chrome) still working with extensions with manifest v2, but I didn't test this myself.
Perfect time to stop using chrome.

This would require using Firefox on MacOs just for the forum.
Might be worth it, but challenging.
I will give it a try.

What extension do you mean? Tampermonkey? If yes, then it should already support Manifest V3[1].

If you need more reason to use Firefox, FYI uBlock works most optimal on Firefox browser[2].

I regularly use Tamperkonkey on Chrome and Safari, and both extensions stopped working simultaneously in both browsers.
I checked all the settings, and apparently, all were set correctly.
I now use them in Firefox, and everything is working correctly again.

I use tamperkonkey on Chrome and Safari, and both extensions stopped working at the same time both in Chrome and Safari.
I now use them in Firefox and everything is working properly.

I would suggest checking out Librewolf.net browser, it's a great fork of Firefox that follows all the recent updates, and removes all the crap and bloatware from Mozilla code.
You won't notice the difference because it looks the same as Firefox.
If you want to go step further with privacy than Mullvad browser is also good and they work with Tor project.

I have been using chrome for daily drive my entire life. Not sure whether I should switch to Firefox or not! Tried to run a script through tampermonkey, but it didn't work for some reasons. Recently saw a message saying, "this extension may not be supported" something similar!

Btw, have you tried Bromite? forked version of chrome? I am pretty confused with which version should i choose.

Couldn't find a Android version of librewolf! Only desktop supported?

It's weird the Tampermonkey extension itself stopped working, when it supposed to support Manifest V3 and available on Chrome Web Store without any warning[1].

Bromite haven't updated in almost 2 years[2]. Although Cromite (Bromite fork) receive regular updated[3].

Yes, only desktop supported. But i've heard Mull[4] is a fork of Firefox mobile with better privacy, although i haven't tried it.

Note that Tampermonkey extension is closed source, so you don't know what is happening under the hood, and I wouldn't use it myself.
Violentmonkey is a good open source alternative, there is also Greasemonkey but I think that is only available for Firefox browser.

Great job Grue! A useful script for lazy guys.
I hope lazy guys will not hesitate anymore to merit someone's post now and then or will be able to show another excuse.

Do the lazy guys even have enough merits ?

The fact that both extensions stopped working simultaneously on two different browsers rang more than a warning bell, but I couldn't get back to working again.
Only when I installed Firefox did they go back to working everywhere.
Honestly, I don't understand what happened.

Love this script.

Made a small improvement to 1.3 where it says the reason why it failed to send merits. I was trying to merit someone and kept getting an error, turns out I hit the maximum of 50 merits sent to that user in the last month.
