web extensionjavascript

Web extension that added a simple utility: When you selected a text and right-clicked, you had the option to “censor” that text. This action would search for all occurrences of the phrase in the current webpage and hide them out.

Implementation

Written in JavaScript. Interaction with the page was handled using web extension browser API. Text censoring done with mark.js. The extension used a command queue to handle user actions asynchronously.

Project Status

Currently unlisted from the Chrome Web Store as store policies changed and the web extension was using Sentry for error detection.
