Hacky paywall avoidance extension for NYT cooking

$ yarn

There's a couple options for developing in FF. In either option, you must first downgrade the manifest_version to 2 in manifest.json.

Temporary installation

Create a Mozilla profile/add-on key
Create an .env file
Populate AMO_JWT_ISSUER and AMO_JWT_SECRET values from key generated above

Install in browser

Visit extensions settings
Toggle on Developer mode
Click Load unpacked and select root directory

Alternatively, follow these instructions

Safari

You can use a safari-web-extension-converter to build the extension.

I would recommend moving this into a sibling directory and updating the bundle identifier to something of your fancy.

$ mkdir ../nyt-cooking-safari
$ cd nyt-cooking-safari
$ xcrun safari-web-extension-converter ../nyt-cooking --bundle-identifier com.[YOUR NAME HERE].nytCookingPaywallSmasher

Open Xcode (if it didn't automatically open)
Select macOS scheme (Product > Scheme > nytCookingPaywallBreaker (macOS))
Run build (Product > Build)
Open Safari
Toggle on Allow Unsigned Extensions in Develop menu
Toggle on NYT Cooking Paywall Smasher in Preferences > Extensions
