I have been searching for something like this for years! Wish it wasn't Firefox-only :( What would it take to get it ported to a better browser?

Here's my crack at coloring or syntax-highlighting the parts of english speech for easier analysis, but mine was a manual process: https://github.com/tomhodgins/bil



Well the first step would be to write a better browser.


>What would it take to get it ported to a better browser?

It's waiting for review approval on the chrome webstore.


after checking icon and layout, they just install the extension in a sandbox and if it runs without a javascript error it passes.


It has just appeared now. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/colorify/pipnfjhpb...


Could you make it activate on demand/icon click? Excited to see how this would affect skimming web pages for me.


From a security point of view it will probably require some additional permissions, that I'm not comfortable asking yet.

It's also taking a few seconds to process big pages so for the time being I'll rather have the user click the button when he wants to.

But I'll try to think of a solution for this use case.

So cute, so subjective.


> What would it take to get it ported to a better browser?

If I were the dev and heard that kind of attitude, I would intentionally not port it.

What, exactly, was the point of being an ass there?
