I’ve now written two different extensions for Firefox (both signed, but none of them publicly released as I just don’t need that kind of drama). One copies text and converts it to title case. The other takes text from a page copied into the clipboard and turns it into a plain-text anchor link with the copied-from page as the link target and the text properly formatted with punctuation.

Neither one is really that sophisticated but both do exactly what I want them to do. And it was so much more of a hassle than it should’ve been for a browser running locally on my computer and in my control. Or, rather, should be in my control. I have nearly no power to alter what the browser UI can do so adding an icon for an extension to the non-existent status bar is now impossible. And all the fake security means I cannot substantially change the UI to do anything useful.

Even worse, to even run any extension permanently on my own goddamn machine I have to get Mozilla to sign it so it’ll persist beyond a Firefox restart (in regular editions of FF). It is fucking insane anyone puts up with this. I cannot understand it.

To use what the kids do these days, you are all cucks. Miserable, simpering ones.
