README.md

Replaces YouTube comments with random herp derps. Click on the comment text to reveal the original. This is a fork of twstokes/herpderp with some modifications.

Note: Ignores iframe embedded videos, including the chat replay iframe on YouTube livestream vids.

Known bugs

  1. As of 2021-03-24, sometimes when showing the original comment the first few lines are missing. This tends to happen when you've transitioned to the page from another video. Refreshing the page tends to fix the problem. I'll eventually try to fix this.

Install

Firefox

  • I have a signed xpi that you can immediately install. Open build/ and drag the xpi into Firefox. It may take a few seconds for the browser to display the extension installation dialog box.
  • You can also find the signed Firefox files in the project's Releases page.

Chrome

  • Go to Chrome extensions page.
  • Toggle the developer mode (top-right of page).
  • Click Load unpacked.
  • Select this project's root folder.

Development

Local Testing

  • Firefox: open about:debugging and click Load Temporary Add-on... then select manifest.json file.
  • Chrome: follow the install steps from above.

Signing and Building

Firefox

  • Can either sign and upload from the CLI or manually upload. The former is easy but it triggers a human review?

  • CLI Upload

    • Install web-ext with $ npm install --global web-ext
    • Generate an unlisted xpi with: web-ext sign --api-key <your JWT issuer> --api-secret <your JWT secret>
    • The signed xpi will be in web-ext-artifacts/. Drag this into Firefox to install it.
    • Alternatively use the private sign-firefox-extension.sh script (not included in the repo) which places the xpi in build/.

  • Manual Upload

    • Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers, open the extension and then click on Upload new version.
    • Pack the manifest, js script and icons directory into a zip and upload this file.
    • To download the signed xpi, click on view all (versions), then the name of the new version, then the xpi filename.
