A little help with my Google Chrome extension, Kosherizer

Post Reply New Topic

A few days ago, a started making a Google Chrome extension called Kosherizer. What it does is makes the loaded webpage more kosher by replacing all the curse words and inappropriate words on the webpage with their appropriate counterparts. The problem is that it only works on regular webpages. I want to get it to work on Google Plus posts as well. How can I do this?

All my code for this extension is located at: https://github.com/EphraimB/Kosherizer.git

Just out of curiosity, how does your code deal with the Scunthorpe problem?

I'm going to have to update it at some point to read the whole sentence first and then modify it.

This is just speculation, but I'm assuming the issue is that your extension only works on the initial text on the page (it runs on document end which fires after the page loads initially), but text that is loaded after (via ajax) isn't checked (eg if you scroll down on a youtube video the comments load at that point, they don't load at the start).

You might want to try something like the technique explained here

It listens for any changes in the dom and after a period when the events have stopped firing it will run your find\replace code.
