Add-ons • Re: Working on a Greasemonkey fork for Pale Moon

Off-topic:

There are still A LOT of design choices of the extension that I have to decide on, including: ...just like it was intended and how the original developer wanted it to be...

Since the original developer wants absolutely nothing to do with any "Legacy" version, I think this should be the least of your worries. If anything, the more you distance your fork (name included) from the original developer, the happier he'd be (I assume). It is really a non-issue.

As for the rest, it certainly feels like you already know what the best path is: exploit THIS platform's strengths avoiding extra, unnecessary maintenance where possible i.e. don't make this more difficult than it already is.

Of course, if you can use good part of the work being done on the current uBO then it'd make sense not to ignore it.
