See here for a description of what I'm doing: https://poal.co/s/technology/569412

I didn't get a lot of work done today but was able to manage to do a few things. I tried out the hypercore stuff in the browser, by converting it from nodejs to browserify and didn't seem to work at all. I'm thinking this may not be the best way of going about things because they don't seem to concentrate on browser stuff and are more interested in node.js.

I looked at an alternative, webtorrent which uses webrtc which seems like a better fit. webtorrent specifically designed to run in the browser so I think I won't see any of the problems I had with the hypercore stuff and webrtc is a native api that browsers support really well.

The other idea is to drop all this p2p stuff, and just use something like mybb.com as a more traditional server/client backend. I can use multiple servers and have the client aggregate the stuff. I'l going to stick with the p2p stuff for now, but if it seems too complicated I'll drop it and use just a server/client model, since I know I can for sure get that to work pretty easily.

I'm coming in brand new to this browser extension programming stuff, so if anyone has any helpful tips, let me know.

I would like an ext. that allows you to use a different search engine by default other than the approved list and a second extension that displays a minus next to all your search results so next time you search those sites are eliminated from the results.

I think these would gain in popularity and do more harm to Big Tech and their firewall/advertisement barrages than an ext that allows someone with a Jr.High mentality to: "Derrrr-dehurrrrrr, I typed neeeeeegar, I'm wona dim rebels of society!"

That's a good idea. Eliminate those search results. That's how you screw them up.

"Derrrr-dehurrrrrr, I typed neeeeeegar, I'm wona dim rebels of society!"

Preferably those kind of comments are seen as spam and removed or are down voted out of existance.

A better use case would be high quality comments on Wikipedias Race and intelligence page.

I believe this can already be done in browsers? Any search engine in particular that you can't add?

How about making Mojeet the default browser for Safari?

I don't have Safari available right now, but I tried setting Mojeet as the default search enginr in Firefox without any problems.

Hm, okey so looks like you can't add new search engines to Safari. I thought maybe this was a thing all browsers supported, but apparently not.

Only thing I can think of currently is that I've seen from screenshots that Dissenter seemed to show the comments in a popup. I don't know if they also allowed the comments to be seen in a sidebar, browser extensions seem to be able to have a sidebar. I personally would find it more convenient to have have the comments in a/the sidebar rather than in the popup, because the popup probably (?) closes when it loses focus and has less space available.

I might be able to make a sidebar.
