Discourse HTML

A super simple Browser Extension for redirecting Discourse community websites to their HTML versions, rather than their js;dr defaults.

1. Automatically append ?_escaped_fragment_ to any known Discourse URL.

2. Offer an options page for the user to configure Discourse URLs.

Differences from spec

The extension was created with the Browser Extensions specification in mind. It turns out this is very hard to do while also supporting real life browsers.

• This extension uses the options_ui manifest key instead of the options_page manifest key from the spec.
• This extension asks for the non-standard storage permission to use the Web Storage API.

Any other differences should be reported and either documented here or fixed as bugs.

Code Style

This extension follows the JavaScript Standard Style. I apologise if you love semicolons. Make sure to run it under the WebExtensions environment:

standard --env webextensions
