Web Honorifics API themirrazz מאת

The Web Honorifics API is an API developed in Kyōsuke, a Firefox-based browser for weebs, which tells websites that the user prefers to see Japanese honorifics. But what if you don't want to download another browser? That's what this extension is for! This extension adds the API to Firefox for Desktop, and theoretically should also work in Orion for macOS or iOS and Firefox for Android!

The Web Honorifics API (navigator.honorifics) is a simple boolean value. This extension can only set it to true, so if you'd like to stop websites from using Japanese honorifics, please disable this extension.

Known limitations:
* This can only tell websites, not other add-ons, to use Japanese honorifics.
* The Web Honorifics API may not be accessible to Web Workers.
* The Web Honorifics API might not be immediately available and may cause some websites to not detect it properly.
* Due to content-security policies, the API might not get injected on certain websites (e.g. Spotify)

This API is a very useful feature for weebs, and it can do things like telling streaming websites to show subtitles that leave honorifics in the original Japanese instead of translating. Even so, IT DOES NOT WORK ON ALL WEBSITES. While the API exists, it is up to websites to implement it. If a website doesn't check the Web Honorifics API, you won't notice any change whether this extension is installed or not.
