This is interesting.

We're shifting away from browser extensions to TamperMonkey scripts because of the futility of trying to get everyone in the company to use the same browser. Would your SDK be usable with TamperMonkey?



I don't believe so, but we target everything in the Webkit ecosystem (Chrome, Edge, Safari), so Firefox would be the only odd browser out.


Chrome left the WebKit ecosystem about a decade ago.


Any chance Firefox support is on the roadmap?


We don't officially support it but some folks have had success.

From a user perspective, we used to get asked all the time to support Firefox for Streak. Those requests have mostly disappeared more recently - seems like our user base is predominantly Chrome and Edge.


> Those requests have mostly disappeared more recently

Could it be because Firefox users have given up? I wonder what percentage of your user base would be Firefox users if it were supported. Of course I don't have an answer to that, but I don't think lack of requests necessarily translates to lack of interest.


Maybe. But as someone who prioritizes what we build, no one asking for it is a pretty strong signal not to build it.


I suspect there's a shift coming once Chrome forces manifest v3. TamperMonkey also gives you a unified API to build your unified API on top of.


Most of our users of Streak don't know and def don't care what Manifest V3 is.


Understandable, but really a deal-breaker for many.
