Run as a browser extension

[seffs]

Hi there!

Would it be possible to make a browser extension out of this? I've tried some JS and HTML injectors without success. There might be a reason for this given that there is no add-on out there that does this, but as a non-webdev I have no clue why.

hello 👋
i think this should be possible.

if you want direct access to google libwebp's build, it is here: https://github.com/chase-moskal/webp-hero/tree/master/libwebp/dist

• it's available as a commonjs module
• it's also available as an es module
• both are ASM builds, so they should be quite compatible

for all of webp-hero's code, you can browse the files available in the npm package here: https://unpkg.com/browse/[email protected]/

• there's a commonjs distribution and also es modules
• these include the webp machine and other polyfilling features

there should be some details in the webp-hero readme about importing these modules directly, which is the strategy i imagine your extension would want to take (although i've never actually made a browser extension, i'm unfamiliar with how that works).

let me know if you have any questions, and keep me posted about your progress 👍
