Hi, yes, I like to avoid bothering Mr. Carlos and i can just use Firefox instead of Chrome, so in theory I don't need a crx chrome version of our beloved checkIframe:

#9 (comment)

But I admit, yes, Firefox was my main unique default browser, and then I sadly discovered that Firefox categorically refuses to implement the window.showSaveFilePicker API :

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/showSaveFilePicker#browser_compatibility

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/showSaveFilePicker

I need the window.showSaveFilePicker API because I still use ADSL internet via a telephone line, and my Wi-Fi signal becomes weak when my mother and sisters connect. Most anime on streaming sites have HD quality by default, and the streaming is laggy and choppy, so the solution is to download videos: so I enable the m3u8 parser of the cat-catch extension :

https://github.com/xifangczy/cat-catch

and I can play with Potplayer the temporary TS video while downloading, meaning I don't need to wait for the download to finish, but showSaveFilePicker API needs to be implemented in the browser to preview/watch temp TS videos while downloading but sadly Firefox refuses to implement Save File Picker API to allow saving a file from the browser for security reasons, but Chrome and Edge are smarter and have implemented the showSaveFilePicker API, so Chrome becomes my main browser for downloading videos.

But Firefox remains my browser for watching SD streaming videos because an inactive idle browser can consume 50GB per day according to studies which will destroy our SSD and I found a trick available only with Firefox: I space out the session store interval in Firefox to preserve my SSD:

about:config
browser.sessionstore.interval 2147483647

But to download anime videos, I need Chrome, hence my request please to convert checkIframe xpi to crx.

Yes I found Foxified emulator extension, which allows us installing Firefox extensions in Chrome, and I decided not to bother Mr. Carlos and abandon my request :

https://foxified.org/

But yesterday I saw the comments on the Chrome Web Store and I got scared: apparently, Foxified extension inject pop-up ads, and many users are complaining.

So our dream please is crx checkIframe for Chromium browsers, and there's no need to put it in the Chrome Web Store because we can enable developer mode in Chrome to install pure crx or zip extensions outside the store. Thanks Mr Carlos !
