I'm working on a browser extension that modernises the forum and adds QOL features. Updating this thread as I work on it

Extension will be public, free, open source, and won't require login details

Feel free to request features below, but some things won't be possible / plausible

The changes you've made already look incredible, I'm excited for this to be released!

A header splash delete option would be neat.

On it
-----
Added:

• Hide header splash
• Hide footer
• Show detailed poster info (TC and User ID)
• Hide signatures
• Hide avatars
• Show User ID on profile

Plus a little menu to toggle things on/off

Here's a first version for anyone who wants to try it!

For now it only works on Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, but not Firefox). I'll upload it to the Chrome Web Store once I get some more features down and fix some bugs

How to install

1. Download the file I attached
2. Unzip it. If it asks you for a name, call it in-here or something (to indicate the folder that you'll need later is the one inside this one). Just make sure it's not called extension-v1
3. Open your browser and go to chrome://extensions
4. On the top right, tick "Developer mode" (lets you install extensions that aren't on the store)
5. On the top left, click "Load unpacked"
6. Select the folder named extension-v1
7. Head to https://forum.toribash.com/ and you should see a little settings wheel on the bottom left. Click it and tweak to your heart's content

The code is in the zip file (non-obfuscated), so feel free to give it a read or throw it into ChatGPT if you're worried. Also here's the VirusTotal

Oh also, I added these features:

• Auto-retry when a page fails to load
• Faster loading of all pages
• Block trackers

Awesome work so far Surge, looks great for us forum dwellers that are still around

Thank you for implementing the header delete! The settings look great too. Do you have any plans to support Firefox?

I'm not sure how much work it takes but at the very least I'll give it a shot

faça uso do cursor IDE e seja feliz jovem, dentro do cursor IDE< instale o codex CLI, pague 100 reais na mensalidade, e tenha o desempenho do claude opus, por um preço miseravel, refaça o toribash, seja felis

I use AI as a better / more precise Stack Overflow but I don't like it writing all of my code for me

Nice, thank you.

I had Codex take a look and all it suggested for compatibility with Firefox was adding background.scripts to manifest.json, where you currently have background.service_worker for Chrome.

 "host_permissions": ["*://forum.toribash.com/*"],
    "background": {
        "scripts": ["background.js"],
        "service_worker": "background.js"
    },

I made the change and was able to load up the extension in Firefox but it was a bit buggy, which is to be expected since you're building for Chrome. With your permission I'll keep hacking away with Codex, if you'd rather not have AI running over your hand written code I'll stop immediately.

Thanks again for this extension, I had a play with it in Chrome and it's super smooth and a huge quality of life improvement for browsing the forum.
