Speed Dial Generator
-
@rotfl Closed source, uses user data for ads. No thanks.
-
@an_dz I am fully aware of this.
I mentioned about it just as a point of reference - I hope it was not lethal -
@rotfl It does manage to get logos for sites like Microsoft, which my extension fails. It probably uses the favicon for this but I don't know how to work with .ico files with JavaScript.
-
@an_dz Yup, looks like favicon.
They also mentioned something about utilisation ofog:logo
tag.If only Vivaldi could sync thumbnails life will be much easier...
-
@rotfl
og:logo
is not defined by OpenGraph so I doubt anyone uses that.I have found out a way to check the favicon size but it's very slow, the code checks all resources even before the favicon size is checked. So now I managed to put it as a fallback icon if nothing is found, but the icon still needs to be bigger than 48px.
So here's the first update, v1.1 bringing compatibility to more sites.
-
Awesome, I'll wish that this extensión was native and that the thumbs will saved in some directory.
Good job @An_dz -
Sorry, but how to install it? I donwloaded the Generator and the crx file, I read the readme, did all the steps, but it does not install.
How to install extentions from a local files / folders?
Thank you
Edit: DEVELOPER MODE ON is needed
-
@burbuja Thanks for the info, added it in the readme.
-
In case anyone is/was using this extension I've updated it to work with the latest version of Vivaldi. It stopped working at some time.
-
Great extension! I love it!
I have some quesitons though.
-
What wrong with some Google services? Some of it are great, some - generating preivew, but google docs shows unknown dialog box.
-
Some thumbnails don't fit very well:
-
-
The generator looks on multiple places for an image but not all sites offer one and so it shows the preview. Sometimes it can be that the extension was too slow, in this case a reload should fix it as now things will be in cache.
As for Chrome Web Store, no extension is allowed to run on it for security reasons.
Google Docs is a bug as I did not expect the site would show a popup, this can be easily fixed, I'll put an updated version later tonight.
Ebay is another bug that I'll have to investigate on how to fix it without breaking others.
-
@An_dz I haven’t seen this before. Doesn’t work on all pages but produces satisfying results when successful. Good job, I’ll be using this from now on.
-
New release, fixes some of the issues @phanex pointed out and also hardly fails now.
-
Why would i use an extension when vivaldi has a speed dial pre-installed.
Whatever rocks your boat i suppose. -
@Priest72 It is all about generating nice-looking images for the speed dials, rather than (often) useless auto-generated thumbnails. I have fewer than 20 speed dials, so I just made my own images.
-
Why I did not found this earlier?
-
Followed all instructions for installation. Installed. Not working. Pls fix.
-
@ParaSpawn How did you try to load the speed dials?
-
@luetage yes i did.
-
@luetage By pressing ctrl + r, and also individually.
