NANY 2018 Release: UnClouder for Firefox
« on: November 18, 2017, 10:34 PM »
NANY 2018 Entry Information

Application Name UnClouder

Web Page http://mozilla.tuxproject.de/unclouder
Download Link https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unclouder/
System Requirements
  • Firefox 57 or higher

  • 0.2: Grammar fixes, (virtual) DOM fixes
Author mouser  :P (just in case anything breaks)

One more? Fuck yeah!

This little side-project of mine is my first approach at a content script (formerly known as "userscript") for Firefox's WebExtension thingy. It basically grew as a playfield while preparing ymarks development, I just had the time to finish it.

Features:

If you visit a German or English website talking about "the Cloud" bullshit, this extension will replace that bullshit by "other people's computers" so you can easily see why the bullshit is bullshit.

Portability issues:

  • I only added two languages for now. I am lazy.
  • The UnClouder uses Firefox's "CLD2" language detector. Addendum: Chrome et al. support that too, but the messaging infrastructure seems to work differently. If anyone of you needs a Chrome/Vivaldi/... version, let me know that it might be worth the effort.

Enjoy or whatever.
I bet when Cheetahs race and one of them cheats, the other one goes "Man, you're such a Cheetah!" and they laugh & eat a zebra or whatever.

Update: Version 0.2 improves grammar quirks, we have better quirks now.  :)

The UnClouder website moved its server as well. If anything breaks, please let me know.
