Here is an up to date link to what I have so far, please disregard the last one I sent.

Hello,

Over the past few months I have been doing different webExtensions front ends for websites that don't work without running non-free _javascript_:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/NateN1222/librejs-compatibility-add-ons/

Writing these, I have become pretty familiar with how LibreJS and webExtensions works.

As you might already know, LibreJS needs to be rewritten in webExtensions because the add-on SDK is going to be deprecated in a few months. However, webExtensions doesn't have an important feature LibreJS needs: the ability to edit a page before it gets loaded.

They plan to add this feature in the future. I'm told it is "Highly likely," at least. Here is the open bug on bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1255894

I am on this mailing list today because I have started rewriting the other parts of LibreJS that don't rely on this feature such as the menus and the option screen.

I put what I have so far up on my website. You can wget it or open this link in a web browser:
