TODO:
- General:
- Move as much styles as possible into CSS file and use classes instead.
- Note to self: Stop using styles instead of classes everywhere! Idiot...
- Start/Learn to use Promises instead of callback (ex.: load/save_configuration)
- Firefox:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1413872
- Ideas:
- Mark last time ratings were loaded and shown, also mark if rating is already old (means rating value will most likely not be updated) and such ratings will not
be removed after fixed period of time but based on when it was last shown, not shown ratings are probably not needed.
- Playlist. People could store titles they like and extension would play them when playlist is started.
- Indefinite playback loop of title.
Known issues:
- Manifest v3. Extension was already tested on new manifest except Firefox which still has not implemented it yet. Plan is for Q1 2022.
- Video features work on all browsers except Edge, in fact Edge will get completely destroyed if video features are used/enabled
and by completely destroyed I mean whole Edge turns black and starts flashing based on mouse location. This happens only when
hardware acceleration on Edge is enabled. Bug report was sent to Microsoft including step by step instructions, command and
video with diagnostic data.
