[β] BPIP Extension: user info & extra features add-on/extension, Firefox/Chrome

[mendace]

So full add on support for Android Firefox is in the pipeline. However, you can use any add on you like right now on Android with a bit of a workaround.

I tried the android version and everything works exactly.  But do you also receive notifications or not?  In any case, I congratulate you and leave you some merit.  Do you have the option to add it to chrome mobile or Brave as well?

Warning: beta-quality software. Use at your own risk.

Somewhat-stable version: 2.2.5
Latest test version: 2.3.x

hey i tested your add-on and i really like it a lot, now i tried to take a theme for SMF responsive and paste the CSS and i must say it works but need to improve the code is still not good, for example the signatures don't stay visible as in the desktop but they are staggered and some things like the quotes need background colors but the important thing is that it is usable from mobile.  Why don't you integrate a responsive theme so that everyone can use it with a simple click?

How did you manage to use the extension?
There's nothing happening whenever I'm tapping on both of these versions, should I change my current browser (Chrome) and go for something else?
I'm not a Firefox fan anymore, so suggest me something else. Will it work on Kiwi browser?

well the guide is clear and the extension only works on Firefox nightly version.  I don't think it will work in chrome and any other browser other than that.

At any rate, Mozilla seems to be very intent to kill Firefox if you look at the latest Play Store reviews so I won't be putting too much effort into it. Once the dust settles and there is a clear path to make the extension work in the long run - maybe.

So full add on support for Android Firefox is in the pipeline. However, you can use any add on you like right now on Android with a bit of a workaround.

First of all, you need to download Firefox Nightly, which is essentially the alpha developer version.
Direct link: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/channel/desktop/
Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fenix

You then need to go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/, click "Log in to view your collections", create an account, and then create a new collection with a unique name. Search for all the add ons you want to use, and add them to your collection, BPIP included. Make a note of the unique name you gave the collection, and the 8 digit number in the URL.

Open your Firefox Nightly app, go to settings, scroll to the bottom and select "About Firefox Nightly", and tap the Firefox logo five times until you get a pop up saying "Debug menu enabled".
Go back to settings, scroll down to "Advanced" and select "Custom Add-on Collection".
Enter the 8 digit number from above in the "Collection owner (User ID)" field, and the name you gave your collection in the "Collection Name" field, and hit OK.
The app will apply the changes and then shut down.
Relaunch the app, go to add ons, and you will see all the add ons from your collection listed. Tap the plus sign next to each one to install.

I can confirm that the BPIP extension works just fine using the above steps.

I just posted (if you look at a couple of threads above) about how I changed the css through your add on but I quoted the wrong thread so I wonder why don't you enter a theme that is compatible for mobile like in my screenshot? Obviously if you can also improve it.

Nice job BPIP team. How do I remove the marked icons please?

Nice job BPIP team. How do I remove the marked icons please?

These are icons from the forum. I don't think you can remove these icons permanently, also I don't see a reason why you would remove these. There's no userscript/extension so far which can remove these if I'm correct.

Ahem... allow me to introduce you my newest script:

TryNinja never sleeps and he is one of the best bitcointalk Santa's around here! 
This two icons never bothered me that much,but maybe you should think about creating one ultimate all-in-one script that will make optional forum design changes.
For example, someone mentioned that posts from ignored members can still be seen in forum when someone quotes their post.
I would also like to hide some other parts in forum that can't be hidden with current modifications available in settings.

You mean a drop down list with different types of settings made available for us to modify how it will look for everyone individually? Sounds good if that's what you meant. I have not tried this yet, but want to ask a question.

Does the beta provide notifications whenever our post is quoted or we are mentioned in some post the way we get through the telegram bot by TryNinja?
I'm talking about notifications that pop up on the screen for all the apps.

It worked just perfect for me. Thanks buddy!



Maybe someone can list all these extensions and codes in one place so that people like me never struggle to find them.

Cheers,

Edit: I wish I had 50 merits for you. But someday :-)

Whoever wants to use it on android, now there is better alternative available than mentioned in op.

1) Download Lemur browser from play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lemurbrowser.exts

2) Download extension by manually downloading file: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bpip-extension/

3) From bottom bar, click 'extensions' button >> extensions >> enable "developer mode" >> load unpacked >> Select the extension file downloaded above

That's it.

Except 'use custom theme' everything seems to work.

Thanks to op for gifting us this beautiful tool. It makes our days more easy. BPIP extension is in one word awesome I like everything about it.
I would like to request the op not to suggest that since there is an option to see earn merit , So I am thinking, how about introducing a separate option like merit count to next rank on the side of earn merit?

Not sure if this has been asked or answered before, but I have noticed the bpip dashboard for different users seems different from what I am currently using..And I have seen about 3-4 versions of the dashboard which has lead me here, Is there a likelihood an update to the extension was released to have bpip display like the pictures have gathered below or perhaps features differ with browser being used

If you're asking about "Earned Merit" etc, these features need to be enabled in extension settings (disabled by default due to privacy reasons). You can access the settings by clicking the extension button in the toolbar. You should see something like this:

Is it me or...

After the last tor update, the extension is no longer working. All the options are disabled, and if I try to enable them again, after a refresh they go to disabled again.
Any tips??

Which browser do you use?
everything is normal with me in both Chrome and Firefox. When you close that pop-up window (in Chrome) for additional options, are you allowed to access the bitcointalk site?
Also on the permissions tab in Firefox.

I think last extension update was released years ago, somewhere in December 2020, so it must be something related with your browser.
I tested on Firefox and Chrome based browsers using BPIP extension 2.2.5 and everything works fine in both cases.
Try installing different browser and test how everything works, but I think this could be related with your browser last update, not with extension.

I had noticed that about once every couple of weeks, I have to restart Chrome because the extension is not showing up.. .. but I don't really have any knowledge regarding why the extension stops working.. perhaps sometimes I restart Chrome (or maybe Chrome forces closed or has too much cache memory filled up and slows down) and the BPIP Extension disappears and then I notice that it is not there, and then I restart Chrome again, and then the extension loads back up properly.

[ibminer]

The way I read suchmoon's post is that the official Firefox doesn't allow the extension anymore, but the Tor browser still allows it.

Yes. Tor Browser is based on an older version of Firefox (v68; the one the breaks extensions is v79) so it will likely support the extensions for some time until they decide to force an upgrade.

Tor 12 - Firefox V102
Tor 11 - Firefox V91
Tor 10 - Firefox V78.3

Based on the conversation above, and looking through current release notes, it looks like after Tor V10 it might start using a version of firefox that does the whole "recommended" extensions stuff, which may be part of the issue, I haven't tested it yet myself though.

What version of Tor did you use before you updated?
