Supported Browsers

• Chrome: See here for the main code.

• Firefox: To be done.

• Edge: To be done.

• Safari: See below. 👇👇

For Safari

The Safari and Chrome extensions share nearly identical codebases with only minimal differences:

Identical Files (100% same code):

• content.js - Core functionality for page manipulation
• popup.js - Extension popup interface logic
• popup.html - Extension popup interface structure
• popup.css - Extension popup styling
• utils.js - Shared utility functions and configurations

Key Differences:

1. Manifest Structure (manifest.json)

• Safari: Multiple icon sizes (48px, 96px, 128px, 256px, 512px)
• Safari: Icons stored in images/ folder with SVG toolbar icon
• Safari: Uses "scripting" permission (Safari-specific)
• Chrome: Single 128px icon as icon.png
• Chrome: Uses "activeTab" permission (Chrome-specific)

2. Directory Structure

• Safari only: images/ folder with multiple icon formats
• Chrome only: Single icon.png file

Migration Notes:

The code migration was nearly 1:1, proving excellent cross-browser compatibility. The main effort was in manifest configuration rather than code changes. Both extensions support:

• arXiv paper redirections
• GitHub repository alternatives
• Scholar Inbox integration
• Identical user interface and functionality

Optimization Recommendation:

The Chrome extension's background.js file is not referenced in the manifest and serves no purpose. It can be safely deleted to clean up the codebase.
