Making WebExtension for Chrome and Edge would be a good lesson for mozilla

I want it for Vivaldi (based on Chromium)!

Firefox has consistently broken features I loved ever since version 4. Vivaldi is the opposite!
Sometimes when they add a new feature I wanted, it's actually better than what I wanted.

Right now, I can wait a little bit for DTA because Flashgot, which I use to trigger DTA, is broken too!

Flashgot/DTA is almost the only reason I still use Firefox. That combination is light years ahead of any similar software that I'm aware of.

Hi.

Does anyone know where is located the source code for DTA lite? I have not seen any branch here.
I have started to work on a web extension in replacement of Image Host Grabber. And Firefox's new download API is so limited that I would like to give a hand on DTA. The idea would be to make a greater download API (with resume, queue persistence, etc) that other web extensions might use too.

[bperel]

I would be interested to know where the source code of DTA lite is as well, even if it isn't stable yet

[xdhmoore]

I would as well.

I think (I have no idea the roadmap for this but it is on Github) using Waterfox for now if you can is the way to go with the original extension.

I may have said it already and forgot but (@ the original dev) I think that so many people appreciate and love the project that even if you "no longer want" to develop the extension, there may be talented people out there that could (even if 100% incomplete ATM with DTA lite) pick up the project and maybe get your "blessing" to "take over" DTA where its not "all on you". ... or at least where you are 100% still in "charge" of DTA but they can contribute with PR's and such to chip-in on the effort.

Basilisk Browser (Palemoon on Firefox v52 Base) is a solution.

I hope that this comes soon...

I hate to get off topic but even if its a good project ... I start getting iffy about using a fork of a fork of a fork type of things ... I mean what is the advantage of say "Pale Moon on an updated Firefox base" (compared to ACTUAL Pale Moon" vs something like Waterfox which IIRC is a fork of FF and you eliminate a "middle man fork" so to speak.

AND OF COURSE I realize I am saying this on github lol

DTH is DEAD. Just look at the commits, or wait forever!

[Anutrix]

Why won't the developer reply or post something on his website?

[josephj11]

@Anutrix I guess no point in beating a dead horse. The way Firefox/Mozilla has treated extension authors got many of them demoralized enough to quit long before quantum nuked almost all of them.

[Xmetalfanx]

they were giving warnings for months (that doesn't mean it's easy for some addons to be completely redone ... look HOW DIFFERENT Noscript is now) .... I have just expected this is a dead project and the dev has moved on ... would expect a "if someone wants to officially take over the project" message but .. whatever

[MartinX3]

Yes. A missing communication is very very very impolite.

[xdhmoore]

I agree it would be nice to hear something, but in the end, it's a bunch of free work someone did as a gift to the community. I don't think they are under any obligation to follow up if they don't have time any more.
