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.

"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 would like an ext. that allows you to use a different search engine by default other than the approved list.

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.
