Another thing I love about the web: users have the power to take control of their UIs and improve their own experiences.

A cross-browser add-on which expands truncated POSSE tweet copies of indieweb content in the Twitter UI.

Jack Way.Jack Way no other extension store (mozilla, apple, opera) demands payment, or requires it for verification. Also, Mozilla offers a far superior extension upload experience. Google has no excuse :)
Google demands developers pay them $5 for the privilege of letting people put extensions on the Chrome Store.

Facebook use shady javascript to replace legit-looking link URLs with their own tracking endpoint.
I made a browser extension which removes this: facebook-anticlickjack.
It uses javascript to remove javascript from what should just be HTML. I call it “aggressive degredation”.
#todo: write a browser extension which overrides Facebook’s über-shady LinkshimAsyncLink rewriting. What you see should be what you click.
That excellent post of Tantek Çelik’s, like all well–hyperlinked documents, lead me to a whole raft of great #indieweb resources I hadn’t come across before:
- @brianoberkirch, his post on portable social building blocks and his other PSN posts, all of which make good reading
- The @microformats wiki page on portable social networks
- Tantek Çelik’s Creating Building Block for Independents presentation, and the associated wiki
(In other news: I need to make a “dump tabs into new note dialog” browser #extension)
