This has been outlined originally in the new funding proposal of 2021: %Y2iyBckEhcWvxX6a1+9ELeP6wFYD80QNdhvR50V1C7E=.sha256
.
It is unclear if Patchfox works on the current browsers made by Opera.
- Find some Opera users on SSB to test things out.
Opera has it's own add-ons store.
Created an account and am trying to upload the WebExtension there. Currently it is complaining about a value in the manifest:
That value is perfectly valid as per the documentation on MDN WebDocs and Chrome Developer. The manifest is also passing validation without a hitch.
The Dev.Opera portal documentation for manifest files doesn't list commands field. It is quite odd, the docs from Opera seem quite incomplete.
I'd be a bit bummed if I need to remove commands from the manifest to appeal the Opera overlords...
Checked this thread about submitting MetaMask for Opera and apparently they also had such problems.
I'm guessing the Opera automated verifier is a bit shitty.
Created a separate worktree for Opera. Submit a new version, It's awaiting for approval.
From the convo with the review system:
Patchfox v2021.6.2 on Opera Developer: Published.
Patchfox v2021.6.2 on Opera Next: Published.Moderator's note:
Your extension needs to be manually reviewed and moderated before it can be added to Opera Stable. It is currently only viewable and available for download in Opera Developer and Opera Beta.
So if anyone is using Opera Developer or Next, I'd welcome feedback.
It has been weeks since Opera last gave an update on the review process. That is the slowest I have seen so far from a Browser vendor. I’m going to bump Opera release down to Tier 3 because I can’t have their lack of speed block the wider release meta issue. As far as I am aware, no one here is using Opera, or at least no one reached out about it. Those users can still use Patchfox with Opera Developer and Opera Next releases.
I just want to add another data point here that I haven't heard from Opera since my last update. They're simply not answering. I'm almost scrapping this issue just because I'm frustrated with their process. Even Apple answers faster.
I'm going to close this task because Opera is not answering. If they end up replying me in the future, I'll revisit this.
