Web extensions version?

[Nuklon]

Thank you for this extension, finally one that works. However, it's incompatible with FF 57 😢 Will there be a web extensions port?

[nicolasbodereau]

up?

[hpaolini]

i will not be able to update it on time.

[nicolasbodereau]

:(
But you will ? :)

[hpaolini]

At the moment there is no API to protect the add-on from being disabled/removed. Password-protection should be a must in a content filter; therefore, releasing a half-baked version of ProCon without it would not be as convenient.

If there is enough interest in the community, I might take some time to fully port it to a Web Extension. However, such version will definitely lack password-protection.

[Nuklon]

True, but it would at least be an improvement over nothing available.

[nicolasbodereau]

+1 !
thanks for your anwers :)

Thank you so much for all your work put on this project. I agree with you, it makes no sense to have an add-on to block websites without also having a password to prevent us from changing its settings. I hope the situation will change.
Does anyone know if there is any other browser that allows this function?

I understand that moving to "web-extensions" would be a headache but it would really become the only extension that provides this functionality in firefox (as far as I know).
I would personally appreciate if you dedicate a time to make it work.
Thank you very much!

If you would please do what you can to make this work with quantum. I understand you are having problems with the passwords but something functioning would be great! I use this to block my son from sites and preventing him from using keywords he uses to look up things I don't want him to see.

@hpaolini: This is a radical suggestion, but perhaps the installation/removal worries can be delegated to pluckeye?

Maybe the Policy Engine could be used to prevent disabling this extension?

@hpaolini - please do develop a WebExtension version! ProCon is a real help to me. I use CCK2 (https://mike.kaply.com/cck2/) to prevent myself from disabling ProCon on the desktop. Anyway, whether or not you update ProCon, thanks for writing it in the first place.

Hello @hpaolini ,

I hope you are fine :)

I just up this to know if you are still thinking to update it?
My childs are growing and begin to search things in internet...and there is not a real alternative to procon latte in FF...

Thanks in advance :)
