Electron extension injector

injects Chromium extension into packaged electron apps. highly experimental. might work.

use Alt+Shift+E to access extension menus & settings & stuff.

many extensions won't work because of electron's limited apis. deal with it.

notes:

• may not like updates and require re-injecting. deal with it. make shell scripts. 🤷
• doesn't deal with updates. maybe if it ends up bothering me ill add it. make shell scripts. 🤷
• can't access popup windows and stuff. maybe one day. if it ends up bothering me too. 🤷
• sudo/doas probably required on linux. 🤷
• don't bother me with this i'll ignore you.

node src/injector.js <path/to/electron/executable> <path/to/unpackaged/extension>
-- OR --
node src/injector.js <path/to/electron/executable> <crx id from the cws>

remove stuff in path/to/electron/app/eei-exts to delete extensions.

it doesn't work

too bad

can i get help for-

no

why

🤷
